Anabat Services

The AnaBat automated bat detector system has stimulated a revolution in bat survey and monitoring work within the UK.  Areas can now be surveyed at minimal costs over time spans not thought feasible five years ago.  AnaBat offers various features streamlining bat activity data collection and analysis:

• The system can be left in the field to record for extended periods reducing survey effort and costs
• The ZCAIM data storage format enables longer survey periods
• Directional microphones enable specific features to be targeted such as infrastructure or  habitats
• Full compatibility with the AnaLookW call identification software allowing the labeling of sonogram files and the use of tools for data extraction for spreadsheet analysis
• Position tracking via a connected GPS device stamping the location of each file containing bat echolocation call

AnaBats are  proving to be especially efficient when used within monitoring programs and are increasingly being integrated into large scale site surveys such as those required for wind farm proposals. At Access Ecology we have used AnaBats to identify species present on site, locate bat feeding areas and commuting routes, locate summer and winter roosts and verify the results of manual nocturnal surveys.

With our experience of the AnaBat system, if required Access Ecology are able to advise on survey design, the AnaBat requirements and the level of analysis required.
