The southern hairy-nosed wombat (Lasiorhinus latifrons) is a large, nocturnal, herbivorous, burrowing marsupial, endemic to the semi-arid and arid regions of Australia. active burrow L. latifrons used as primary feature in population estimations. Therefore, accurate identification an vital, especially when other burrow-like structures exist. Entrance attributes such width, height, length angle path leading entrance, signs activity are indistinguishable between different structures, making differentiation them impossible without inspecting structure beyond entrance. Structures from entrances were identified field possible burrows, blinds, go-throughs. An unmanned aerial vehicle provided images immediately above 12 warren systems mid-north South Australia, support ground-truthing for mapping verification these structures. Active burrows (APB) found occur proportionally lower numbers than non-burrow (ANBS) blinds go-throughs, varying proportion high 1:2 low 1:11 (APB:ANBS). Defining tunnels entrance increases accuracy estimations, while recognising existence additional architectural features vital understanding functional potential ecosystem engineer.

Drones equipped with thermal cameras have recently become readily available, broadening the possibilities for monitoring wildlife. The European hare (Lepus europaeus) is a nocturnal mammal that closely monitored in Denmark due to populations declining since mid-1900s. limitations of current population-assessment methods, such as, spotlight counts and hunting game statistics, could be overcome by relying on drone surveys imaging population counts. aim this study was investigate use DJI Mavic 2 Enterprise Advanced as tool Danish population. Multiple test flights were conducted over agricultural areas spring 2022, testing various flight altitudes, camera settings, recording methods. used suggest method identifying counting hares. applied methodology then evaluated through case survey had hares an area 242 ha. Hares detected at altitudes up 80 m, it possible fly low 40 m without observing direct behaviorial changes. Thermal images taken these also provided enough detail differentiate between species, animal body size proved good species indicator. supported imaging-based identify conduct counts, thus indicating suggested viable alternative traditional
