the numbers of pups are increasing last
year we had the highest challenge ever
on the fans he's over 2,700 so the
drones is part of a trial that we're
about that would be doing at the moment
this is to go alongside our traditional
methods of marking the pups with this is
harmless servlet vegetable-based die our
methods it's becoming a bit tricky for
us ranges especially because the numbers
are getting so busy now so can be tricky
to access the islands and also there's
the safety element as well because they
kind of quite vicious animals by trying
the drone basically kind of seeing if we
can count them this way in a way which
is more safer for us less disturbance
for them it's assisting the Rangers by
doing a lot more islands in one day so I
can cover a lot more space in the time
it takes them to do a hook count it
never replaced the foot count because my
photography's giving me numbers
to give them but not the different ages
or patrol tality rate the seals all my
flight patterns I'd fly 50 meters so the
seals don't even know the drones there
yes that has no effect on them doesn't
upset them at all
