The technology used for monitoring the bioacoustics of a site is constantly evolving, with improved hardware, advancing software and growing use of Artificial Intelligence.

Are we heading towards a situation where using sound recorders to passively monitor a site for birds can replace the need for site surveys with human field surveyors?

This event will feature presentations from a technology specialist and ecologist, exploring the benefits and limitations of undertaking passive acoustic monitoring of birds on a site. We’ll delve into how these two methods can complement each other and hear case studies where passive acoustic monitoring has been used alongside traditional site surveys.

The live audience will have the opportunity to submit their questions to our speakers in a panel discussion following the presentations.

The presentations will be recorded and shared with those who booked alongside Q&A transcripts and any relevant links following the event.

This event is being delivered by the Biological Recording Company in partnership with Wilder Sensing, Wildlife Acoustics and NHBS.
