Night Vision and Daylight Camera Systems for Wildlife by Susan Young

Night Vision and Daylight Camera Systems for Wildlife by Susan Young

Only a small proportion of our most interesting wildlife is observed by naturalists. This book describes how, with the use of well-developed and reliable technology, animals can be filmed in a non-intrusive way without disturbing behaviour. Step-by-step, clearly illustrated details lead the reader past technical challenges and allow many new insights.

From bats to badgers, from hedgehogs to deer, whether by night or in the daytime, remote cameras adapted from security systems provide an ideal way to record and monitor behaviour over long periods. At a time when much of our wildlife is fast disappearing from the landscape, the need for more knowledge is especially important. Divided into sections covering different approaches and species groups, this guide offers a variety of unique and valuable tools to aid greater understanding. It will be helpful for anyone who wants to harness the power of technology to increase their understanding of wildlife, from the professional ecologist to the amateur field naturalist or keen wildlife gardener.

This is a book which you definitely need if you want to get the best out of using camera traps.. the ideal guide.

The tools and systems introduced in this book are available to us all... As a nature lover, I relish the thought of the wildlife stories that will be revealed through the use of these techniques... As a conservationist, I am excited to think what insights may be gained to steer conservation and scientific research. Happy film-making!

-- Matt Larsen-Daw * Mammal News *

It is rare to find a practical guide that is as practical as this one. The book is aimed at a wide range of interests and provides detailed instructions for specific species... Anyone who has spent years of their life observing the behaviour of certain species of birds (e.g. tits) in nest boxes would have loved to receive the advice generously offered in this book. 

-- Bruno Massa * The Sicilian Naturalist *

...ideal for those who want to up their game.
