We're using bioacoustic sensors to monitor birds and bats at our long-term monitoring and research site in the Cairngorms, operated by @ukceh.bsky.social: ecn.ac.uk/news/bioacou... 🦅🦇🎤 #monitoring #research #environment #species #LTER

It was good to catch up with our brilliant site managers at a meeting today. They do a brilliant job, visiting their sites regularly to collect data and samples, and to maintain equipment. They do this all year round, whatever the weather and ECN wouldn't happen without them. Thank you! 👏

On their regular visits, site managers at 4 ECN sites take a fixed-point photo, a visual record of the site. We've now built up an extensive archive of such photos (the earliest from 1997), some of which you can view online: ecn.ac.uk/sites/fixed-.... Here's just a small selection from this year.

It was a frosty start this morning at Rothamsted, a site in our network monitored by @rothamsted.bsky.social. We take regular fixed point photos at several of our sites and have been doing so for many years. Read more about our photo archive here ecn.ac.uk/sites/fixed-...
