Hi Adrian,
I work for WCS and Co Chair if the IUCN Crocodile SPecialist Group for East and Southeast Asia. At this years CSG meeting we were going to hold a drone workshop for use in the field for crocodiles research and studies. One of the areas that was requested we discuss was best practices. The meeting was postponed due to the Covid 19 issue but we hope to hold it next May 2021. If you are interested in being a part of this workshop please get in touch.
Best regards,
Lonnie McCaskill

Hi Lonnie,
No problem from the RSPB's perspective in you using the Best practices paper. As Adrian said he has dealt with the mapping of the drone images. There are others in our organisation who know much more about the practical side to flying/limitations adn have explored different aveues wth UAV's so drop me a line if you need anymore information.
Best wishes
Nigel
