Sark Guillemot Survey | Lynda Higgins

We were delighted to be asked to help carry out a survey of the Guillemot colonies in Sark.
Traditional methods of counting these seabirds, which form large, dense colonies on cliffs and rocky islands, can be disruptive and inefficient. By using a Drone (UAS) we aimed to achieve accurate counts with minimal disturbance. This project was conducted for Lynda Higgins of La Société Sercquaise, who highlighted the limitations of traditional surveys, such as potential disruption to the birds' feeding patterns and difficulty in obtaining clear images from a moving boat.
