There are six species of Thrush present in the UK over the course of the year: three resident species (Blackbird, Mistle Thrush, and Song Thrush), two wintering species (Redwing and Fieldfare) and one summer visitor (Ring Ouzel). They are all very similar in size and visual identification can be difficult for four of the species […]
This blog forms part of a series on the topic of measurement uncertainty for biodiversity measurements, specifically focusing on bioacoustics. The first blog in the series can be found here. As mentioned in the previous blog, our society relies on a host of different measurements, many of which we do not question or even notice […]
Measurements are an unseen yet important part of our daily lives. We frequently come into contact with them yet rarely question them. In a word we trust them. Everything from electricity meters to car speedometers, blood pressure monitors to weighing scales, rarely does a day go by without using a form of measurement. Trust in […]
During winter, many songbirds live a quieter life. However, Corvids (crow family, Corvidae), can still be heard and are one of the most accessible birds to start learning bird calls, because: Corvids don’t make very pleasant sounds compared to many other birds and they all make quite harsh vocalisations. BUT this makes it easier to […]
Measuring the change in biodiversity predominantly involves quantifying the change in species richness or diversity across a site, as well as measuring the change of relative abundance of each species [1, 2]. At Carbon Rewild our aim is to make the measuring of biodiversity accessible to all via the use of bioacoustic monitoring. This involves […]
Our mission at Carbon Rewild is to make the monitoring of wildlife and biodiversity more accessible. This guide will provide an overview of how to set up your recording device on site. Please note we have several different versions of our recording device, which may look different to the version shown in the video below. […]
The aim of Carbon Rewild’s bioacoustic monitoring service is to make wildlife and biodiversity monitoring accessible to everyone. As a result we have designed our system to be as scalable and flexible as possible. 1. Ship Recording devices are posted to you in advance of your survey schedule 2. Record Recording devices set up with […]
At Carbon Rewild we are launching our new Bird and Bat Acoustic Monitoring Service. This is a “ship and return” service. We post you a recording device and you set it up. Then after a month you post it back to us. We then analyse the data and send you a report describing all the […]
