(7) so we have more reliance on manual surveys undertaken by @BiodiverseC and Martin Kitching in 2025 than cameras. So in the next month or so I need to decide what survey effort looks like in 2026.. (bites nails)
In 2024 the two external motion cameras (placed on just 2 ledges of Kittiwakery ANS) generated 4236 motion detections of which 2966 i.e. 70% of videos contained kittiwake - examples posted here: https://t.co/RjTgvparsO
So in 2025 we chose wide angle internal cameras ...
(6) so weve gone from 2024 video 'overload' to 'video scarcity' in 2025. We paired up with #APEM to develop AI based detection and analysis using the 2024 data, but the 2025 data is insufficient to move forward. See here: https://t.co/tRYOby1EGT
So ill be posting the good and bad news from Kittiwakery ANS 2025 season over the next few weeks...
First, we have been over-run with corvids in 2025 inc jackdaws, carrion crows and magpies..
see exhibit no 1 - if you look carefully you can see 4 jackdaws inside Kittiwakery
