AB This presentation explains the rationale, objectives and results of Montagu´s Harrier’s nests surveillanceexperiments conducted in the Aeromab Project using small UAS (Unmanned Aerial Systems) in Sevillecountryside (Southwest of Spain). It presents the situation of the species, whose nests are threatened byharvesters and the observational techniques that are being used nowadays to monitor the animals. Wedescribe how a small UAS was used to get aerial photographs that were georeferenced to locate thenests. We demonstrated that it is possible to use SUAS to complement the nests monitoring, saving a lotof personnel effort and costs and potentially with less impact on the animals than conventional mannedaircrafts. This also would avoid the necessity of access by foot to the nests and that minimizes theassociated potential risk of predation.
