Sensor development doesn’t always occur in high tech, air-conditioned laboratories. The first iteration of a lightweight meteorological package designed to be carried by birds involved cycling to a local shop late at night to pick up a Raspberry Pi zero which came free with a magazine. After maturation in a garden shed, involving late-night Python programming and a sprinkling of additional sensors, a functioning prototype emerged capable of making meteorological and positional measurements at up to 5Hz. This prototype was tested first on a bicycle, then a drone, and then a White-tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) called Victor in the Scottish highlands (Thomas et al. 2017). A smaller version has been deployed on pigeons and is undergoing modifications to use the LORA network for realtime data transmission.
