Animals hidden in a meadow can be difficult to spot before machinery enters. A thermal drone provides a viewpoint for searching for heat signatures and locating possible animals to check, particularly fawns.

Power Drone plans these searches in coordination with the farmer and the people handling ground operations. The aim is to communicate usable observations at the point when they can help organise mowing.

Search for animals hidden in vegetation

The thermal camera helps detect heat signatures within the field. Visual images can complement the observation to clarify what is appearing and locate points that need checking.

The search concerns possible animal presence: a signature needs to be examined in context. A point on a thermal image is not enough to establish that an animal has been identified.

Visibility, vegetation and observation conditions influence what can be distinguished. We consider these factors and the meadow's layout when planning the visit.

Connect the flight with your mowing schedule

A search is useful when it fits the planned farming operation. Identify the fields, proposed working order and when mowing is expected to begin.

The slot is coordinated with conditions needed for observation and the presence of ground contacts. If the farming schedule changes, search arrangements may need to be reviewed with those involved.

An observation describes conditions at the time of the visit. Wildlife can move, so the result does not guarantee that a field will remain free of animals afterwards.

Why plan your wildlife search with Power Drone?

Observation and coordination need to work together. Our team plans the search with the people present and the farm's constraints in mind.

  1. A mission built around mowing

    You share the fields, proposed schedule and access arrangements. We plan the visit to fit with ground team organisation.

  2. Equipment suited to observation

    Our drone experience and range of platforms help us plan thermal and visual observations for the areas to examine.

  3. A team involved in communication

    Roles and contacts are clarified before the visit. This preparation supports the communication of observations and guidance of people on the ground.

Guide ground teams towards observations

Where possible animal presence needs checking, the search must allow its position to be found in the meadow. Guidance links the image seen by the drone pilot with conditions on the ground.

Before the mission, we clarify who receives observations and who coordinates follow-up in the field. The farmer and those carrying out ground operations then share a common framework.

The proposed service covers observation and guidance. Decisions and actions involving animals are coordinated with the people responsible for those operations.

Prepare a coordinated operation

  1. Introduce the fields

    Send locations, boundaries, areas and access details. Specify the planned mowing date and sectors of particular concern.

  2. Organise the contacts

    We discuss the people present, ground roles and communication of observations. Together, we assess the conditions needed for the visit.

  3. Carry out the planned search

    Observation covers the agreed areas. Points to check are communicated to designated contacts, and guidance is coordinated with their progress on the ground.

For several meadows, include an overall plan and the order of farming operations. This helps plan successive visits while maintaining ground coordination.

Before your mission

When should the search be planned in relation to mowing?

Share your proposed schedule and field order in your enquiry. The visit is coordinated with the farming operation, the presence of ground contacts and conditions needed for observation.

Who should be involved in planning?

The farmer and people responsible for subsequent ground operations need to be identified. We clarify who receives observations and how guidance in the meadows will be organised.

How is an observation checked?

Thermal observations are considered alongside visual images and the meadow's context. Points to examine are passed to designated contacts, and guidance helps the ground team find the relevant areas.

How should search results be used before machinery enters?

Observations are shared with those coordinating subsequent operations. They describe the situation at the time of the visit and need to be read in light of observation conditions; animals may move afterwards.

Plan a wildlife search before your next mowing operation

Send meadow boundaries, areas and your proposed schedule. Identify the contacts who will coordinate on the ground.
