This beginner course will cover theory and practice of designing and carrying out reptile surveys using standard methods, and how to record the results. The course is suitable for anyone with a personal or professional interest in surveying for reptiles.
There are six native species of reptiles in the UK that we will hope to encounter.
Being able to design, implement and record the results of reptile surveys is a critical skill for anyone looking at working within a consultancy career. This course will introduce you to the theory of reptile survey techniques, followed by a practical demonstration of reptile field survey and finally how to record the results. By the end of the course, you will be able to design, carry out and record the results of a reptile survey using standard methods.
