#Technology tracks the elusive Nightjarbioacoustic recorders could provide us with vital additional information to help us protect rare and endangered birds such as the European nightjar new research has shown.
Using automated equipment to record the nightjars at dawn and dusk when the birds are most active the team found a 217%increased detection rate of the nightjar over those carried out by specialist ornithologists.
Published this month in the academic journal PLOS ONE lead author Mieke Zwart said the findings suggest that automated technology could provide us with an important additional tool to help us survey
and Wildlife Acoustics Inc. The European nightjar for example is only active at night and is camouflaged very well making it difficult to detect using traditional survey methods.
The nightjar--Caprimulgus europaeus--is a migratory species protected under the Birds Directive (Directive 2009/147/EC) and in the UK by the classification of Special Protection Areas (SPAS.
and analysis software the technology is trained'to automatically recognise the calls of individual species in this case the nightjar.
