After many years of developing and validating a method to measure seabird flight height from @HiDefSurvey, the paper is now published!

[HiDef Surveying @HiDefSurvey]

BREAKING: Publication of ‘Aerial photogrammetry of seabirds from digital aerial video images using relative change in size to estimate fight height’. This will allow stakeholders to assess collision risk for the consenting process. https://t.co/bfgOz6umQI
