using digital cameras to survey wildlife

[martin butterfield <>]

It is far more likely to walk in Tanzania than Fyshwick!  There are similar set ups in many National Parks in Africa but they seem to be used purely for viewing.  The innovation here is that people classify (presumably 'identify and record') the wildlife seen.

I suspect the major problem faced by JWNR (and many other places in this area) is the reluctance of many folk to complete simple forms.

Maybe it could work, but imagine how much it would cost to ensure the
equipment does not "walk". I wonder who would be able to finance and risk
that.

Hi all
This site interested me as a way of armchair naturalists assisting
scientists. Could it, I wonder, be applied as a bird census technique to
JWNR?
