  • Unique footage of critically endangered Scottish wildcats has been captured thanks to thermal imaging technology helping local conservation efforts.
    The video, captured by BH Wildlife Consultancy, is thought to be the first thermal drone image of its kind in Scotland.
    It shows an adult female teaching her kitten how to hunt voles in the Angus Glens, and a single wildcat roaming among windblown trees in Glen Doll.
    While Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS) typically use it for monitoring the deer population, getting footage of the hunting cat illustrates the potential of thermal imaging techniques in helping conservation efforts of the critically endangered species.
