Building and evaluating recorders for seabird vocalisations at nesting sites with differing degrees of human disturbance Apr 1, 2016 - Aug 31, 2017
Long-duration recorders are commercially available for week-scale terrestrial sound monitoring, but expensive and large, thus difficult to disguise in colonies. We have an active collaboration with the Soundtags group at St Andrews who have co-develo...
