The Anabat Revolution
The Anabat system is stimulating 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. 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 Ltd we have used Anabats to locate summer and winter roosts, identify species present on site, locate bat feeding areas and commuting routes, and verify the results of nocturnal surveys.
Why Choose The Anabat Hire, Placement and Analysis Package?
With several years experience in the effective use of Anabats to survey a wide range of bat activity across a plethora of locations, Access Ecology are now able to offer the complete Anabat service at competitive costs. Our Anabat Hire, Placement and Analysis Package allows you to save on capital, training and manpower costs while offering your client an assured quality service. At this difficult economic time, with companies trying to claw back costs, we appreciate the difficulty in gaining approval for projects requiring capital investments and believe our Anabat Hire, Placement and Analysis Package may offer the solution.
What Is Included?
Access Ecology Ltd staff will install Anabats on site, replace and recharge batteries, and retrieve the data collected. Access Ecology will then analyse the data collected and create a report presenting easily interpreted information on the date, time and species (where identification is possible) of all calls recorded. In addition information can be provided on:
- The proportion of social calls and feeding buzzes recorded
- First and last bat of each species identified
- Changes in species composition throughout survey nights
If required Access Ecology are able to advise on survey design, the Anabat requirement and the level of analysis required.
