Wildlife Detection Dogs

Our highly trained detection dog team excels at locating bat and bird remains at wind turbine sites, particularly single turbine sites or small community turbines. The dogs consistently achieve 90-100% accuracy in trials and they are trained to detect a wide range of bat and bird species carcasses at various stages of decomposition.

​

Emily holds a Natural England Level 2 Class Survey Licence for Bats and is a trained bat carer, bringing years of hands-on experience to every project. She has completed LANTRA-certified conservation detection dog handling and since 2022 has logged countless hours working with dogs in the field. She works closely with ecologists on green energy projects and knows how to speak the same language. And as a board member of the Ecology Detection Dogs Britain and Ireland Working Group, Emily is dedicated to developing a robust accreditation framework for new teams, ensuring high standards across the industry.

 

2025:
Due to ongoing commitments with our regular clients, we currently have very limited capacity for new projects in 2025. We maintain strong relationships with other accredited detection dog teams across the UK and are happy to recommend trusted colleagues who match our high professional standards. This ensures you can still access quality detection dog services even when our schedule is full.

Bat and bird carcass

Covering large areas of ground quickly and efficiently, dogs are the best solution for finding bat and bird carcasses beneath wind turbines.

Water vole

Dogs are an effective tool for finding water vole latrines along river and pond banks, especially in thick vegetation and hard-to-reach areas.
