Wildlife Reports from Personal Field Records

This section is built from long-running personal field records - notes of what was seen, where, and when.

Over time, those observations accumulate into a larger picture: patterns of abundance, seasonal change, and differences between places. Alongside the data is a growing collection of recordings, capturing moments that don’t always translate into words or numbers.

The approach is simple: go out, look carefully, and keep a record.


Projects

Title Description
Seasonal Modelling Explorations of interpretable seasonal models and the ecological structures emerging from them
Seasonal Analyses Reports using monthly sightings, encounter frequency and modelling output to reveal seasonal patterns
Bat Call Analysis Explorations of bat echolocation through spectrogram analysis, pulse timing, and behavioural structure
Pocket Ecology Portable ecological modelling, bat acoustics analysis, and constrained computational natural history tools

Reports

Title Description
Abundance by Location Reports showing recorded abundance by country, location, and category, with chart views and downloadable data
Annual Location/Category Heatmap Annual heatmap reports showing the distribution of records across locations and wildlife categories
Annual Richness by Country Reports showing annual species richness by country, derived from long-term field observations
Category Composition Reports showing the composition of records across major wildlife categories for individual locations
Sightings Trend by Species Reports showing changes in sightings over time for individual species, based on personal field records

Recordings

Title Description
Wildlife Recordings Catalogue A catalogue of wildlife audio and video recordings, presented as a structured archive
Wildlife Recordings Lightbox A visual library of wildlife audio and video recordings

These reports are generated from the author’s own wildlife records and are intended as a structured reference to personal field observations.
