Lineage
As part of the TERN SuperSites Camera Trap Trial 2017, two camera traps were deployed within the TERN SEQ Peri-urban SuperSite, Samford within the core hectare biodiversity plot between 11/04/2017 and 06/05/2017. The first camera (Reconyx WR6 UltraFire White Flash Camera) was attached to a tree at one metre height and the second camera (Reconyx HC600 HyperFire HD Covert IR) was attached to a tree at 0.3 metres. The cameras were first deployed for two weeks. Data were downloaded from SD cards before redeploying the cameras at two other sites within the one hectare plot for a one week period. Camera trap images will be available on the TERN SuperSite BioImages portal (https://bioimages.tern.org.au/).
Camera traps were set up in the core 1 ha biodiversity plot at approximately 1 m and approximately 20 cm above ground pointing at a bait made up of oats, peanut butter and honey approximately 2.5 m away. Cameras were set to “Scrape” mode to take 5 pictures per trigger and no quiet period.
