Motion-activated camera trap images from the ECN Cairngorm long-term monitoring site, 2010-2022
Motion activated camera traps were installed in pine woodland and regenerating heathland from 2010 as part of UK Environmental Change Network long-term monitoring in the Allt a'Mharcaidh catchment, Cairngorms National Park, Scotland. The image catalogue contains 8050 wildlife images identified to species or group where possible. This forms part of the accompanying dataset which includes information on over 66,000 classified images, recording the presence of blank (empty) images, wildlife, people, dogs and mountain bikes. Furthermore it includes group identification where a series of images occur within five minutes of each other. This work was supported by the Natural Environment Research Council award number NE/R016429/1 as part of the UK-SCAPE programme delivering National Capability.

-
Data was collected and processed using a standardised methodology included as a supplementary file. Images were collated directly from cameras into yearly named folders by year. Yearly collections were then processed through Microsoft’s object detection AI, MegaDetector ( https://github.com/microsoft/CameraTraps/blob/main/megadetector.md), to streamline image content identification. Data extraction then took place using content filters within 'Timelapse: An Image Analyser for Camera Traps' software ( https://saul.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/timelapse) with output data exported as a .csv file. Any errors with time and date extracted from image EXIF, were corrected manually during the final processing step. The data was manually checked for errors but has not been through an exhaustive QC process which is recommended as good practice prior to use.
