INTRODUCTION TO THERMAL IMAGING FOR WILDLIFE
This 6-week online introductory level course will show you how you can improve your wildlife detection (including bats) using thermal imaging technology. This course is designed for professional ecologists, wildlife biologists and students in wildlife related disciplines. No prior experience or specialist equipment is required to join this training.
This programme includes information on professional bat surveys and which have been developed in line with the most up-to-date Thermal Imaging Bat Survey Guidelines.

WILDLIFETEK: THERMAL STUDENT
I would recommend this course as an introductory level course for anyone interested in using thermal imaging for wildlife applications. The course provided a solid grounding in the basic principles of thermal imaging which allows participants to assess whether thermal imaging is a suitable technique for particular survey applications.
THIS COURSE CONTENT INCLUDES:
- Thermal Imaging Basics
- Survey Applications
- Operations
- Survey Planning
- Analysis
- Guidelines
- Survey Equipment Demonstrations
WILDLIFETEK: THERMAL STUDENT
You should do this course before you buy a TI camera for wildlife purposes - I feel so much better informed and at least now know what questions to ask in relation to a specific application or requirement, and would feel comfortable in specifying a methodology and equipment for basic observational TI aided survey.
Why thermal imaging?
- More accurate survey data
- Project cost savings
- Streamlined survey planning
- Increased survey capacity (without extra surveyors!)
- Improved health & safety conditions
- Lower carbon emissions
YOUR TEACHER
Introduction to Thermal Imaging is taught by Dr. Kayleigh Fawcett Williams, with the assistance of her team at Wildlifetek. Kayleigh is a Wildlife Ecologist and level 2 Thermographer. She has been using this technology since 2010 for a range of species, including bats.
Kayleigh is the author of the "Thermal Imaging: Bat Survey Guidelines", and her book on "Thermal Imaging for Wildlife Applications" will be published January 2022.

WILDLIFETEK: THERMAL STUDENT
This course is brilliant! It gives you in depth knowledge of areas of science that you will likely have not learned about before at university. It's a really nice community that is created as well, where everyone is enthusiastic and wants to get involved and discuss topics. I really enjoyed it and highly value all that was taught.

Dr. Kayleigh teaches through dynamic exercises, and a lot of interesting resources, which gives you the opportunity to explore and get deeper into the course! The recorded sessions were handy to rewatch or catch up on any bits I needed re-visiting, or sessions I missed.
