Surveying using Anabat [bat detector]

Jill Tardivel, Senior Ecologist at Lloyd Bore gives her take on surveyingusing AnaBat.

We started with a single AnaBat (SD1) used both with and without PDA (which show real time sonograms) for remote recording, emergence surveys, general activity surveys and bat walks. Its usefulness is confirmed by the fact that now each member of our team has an SD1 or SD2.

The following are real plusses:

• Ease of usefor recording onto a CF card - once the machines have been initialised they are pretty nearly plug and play.
• Real time sonograms on the PDA - instant identification for several species - no continual tuning needed.
• Long battery life (for weeks in the field).
