Thermal detection of deer fawns and ground-nesting birds ahead of silage cutting and harvest, each hit confirmed against its RGB frame — a documented sweep report for conservation and scheme compliance.
THERMAL + RGBEvery finding in every report follows the same structure — location, frame reference, affected area, confidence, probable cause and recommended action, rated Red / Amber / Green. Here's a worked (illustrative) example from this survey type.
| Location | Field 2, centre, approx. 40m from field gate |
| Frame reference | Thermal sweep pass 3 |
| Estimated affected area | Single detection |
| Confidence | High |
| Severity rating (RAG) | RED |
Observation: A single thermal signature consistent with a bedded fawn was detected and confirmed on a second pass from a different angle.
Probable cause: Consistent with a deer fawn lying up, typical behaviour ahead of first cut.
Recommended action: Flag location to the mowing contractor and delay cutting in this zone, or mow around a buffer area, before proceeding.
Every finding on every survey type is rated against the same published definitions, so a Red on one job means the same thing as a Red on the next.
