    Don't have a Pi myself I'm afraid. Assuming you have hardware level support it might be best to raise it on the github Issues page.

    24/7 Raspberry Pi/birdNET monitoring

    The BTO science officer gave a talk to the SOC conference in November about his audio AI work but when I spoke to him he was a bit dismissive of birdweather on accuracy grounds. That was before the January probability model release though which I think has improved things at the birdNET level...

    Same story here on Goldcrest (we don't get Firecrest up here) and I've seen them plus the sonogram is quite clear. Garden Warblers personally I need more reassuring, I heard an unfamiliar song in the local park the other day but I think it was what they call the 'long song' of a Blackcap. In the...

    Nice, have you detected any visitors you would otherwise have missed?

    Top 3 stations yesterday had over 10000 detections to upload.

    24/7 Raspberry Pi/birdNET monitoring

    Bear in mind that BirdWeather is a client-server system although it can be used in the field in which case it will upload all the files and ID them when it reconnects with your wifi. If you want to manually grab them too (for separate analysis) go ahead. There is a 'purge after upload' setting...

    Hope you don't mind me moving your question into the main thread. I'm not sure what your first question means, perhaps you can clarify. Non-IDs get deleted. The server does hold a handful of non-bird sounds like car engines, barking dogs etc. Human voices are screened out.

    PUCs continue to spread out, just found one near Chernobyl https://app.birdweather.com/stations/2912

    24/7 Raspberry Pi/birdNET monitoring

    Yeah they reviewed quite a lot of studies so I just read the Bittern one as it was the source of the 0.76 figure you quoted. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1574954122003600?pes=vor "BirdNET detected the species in 59 of the 63 (93.7%) recordings with known presence of the...

    24/7 Raspberry Pi/birdNET monitoring

    The test was quite restricted - the human observer wasn't blind to the species (Bittern only) and his detections were taken as the benchmark. It scored 59/63 measured at the detection window level. But the best strength isn't necessarily accuracy; bN doesn't rest or get bored or lose...

    Not yet, maybe a keen customer will start a wiki? :)

    Well I use BirdTrack so all bets are off if they rely on other databases.;) But the last Clyde region annual bird report has zero sightings of Hawfinch.
  13. LittleBitOfBreadNoCheese

    24/7 Raspberry Pi/birdNET monitoring

    But is Hawfinch a plausible species for you because it isn't at all for me hence my annoyance at the reports. By contrast if you use birdNET-Analyzer you can feed it the lat and long (still not convinced BW does this and/or actions it properly) and if that doesn't work you can edit the species...

    24/7 Raspberry Pi/birdNET monitoring

    I haven't tried it (not that bothered about using it that way) but the PUCs have onboard GPS. The data is stored in FLAC files with a meta data file containing the GPS derived lat and long for each FLAC. This is covered in the app's FAQ under 'PUC SD Card'. My guess at this stage is they are...

    24/7 Raspberry Pi/birdNET monitoring

    The BirdWeather app. It has one mode to control a PUC but (iOS only I think) can run a standalone BW station.
  16. LittleBitOfBreadNoCheese

    24/7 Raspberry Pi/birdNET monitoring

    That is a good description of what the app does if you take it outdoors but have no data. It does detections in realtime (minus species icons for birds you have only heard outside) and when you get back in they can all be uploaded to the site map quite quickly with accurate map points too...

    yes
  18. LittleBitOfBreadNoCheese

    24/7 Raspberry Pi/birdNET monitoring

    Yes I noticed an uptick in British and near continent numbers from the recent batch. How many are using it as a drop off I wonder?
  19. LittleBitOfBreadNoCheese

    24/7 Raspberry Pi/birdNET monitoring

    btw just a little correction to earlier comments about the BirdWeather app, I read now that the Android version isn't the full standalone version but only controls a PUC? The iOS/iPadOS version can run its own detections or control a PUC.

    24/7 Raspberry Pi/birdNET monitoring

    If anyone was toying with getting a BirdWeather PUC but put off by the price you may get one quite a bit cheaper via their Kickstart program, if you 'pledge' UKP161/USD199. If this link doesn't hold then follow the kickstart link from birdweather.com...

    24/7 Raspberry Pi/birdNET monitoring

    No, you could run a local copy of the birdweather app if you wanted real time - make sure you turn off server submissions before you click Listen for the first time and you won't appear on their map, but you won't get the sound clips stored then. If you want to replay the sounds you have to...

    24/7 Raspberry Pi/birdNET monitoring

    Yes the PC version of birdNET aka birdNET-analyzer. There is a Windows zip file which is the easiest to get up and running with. https://github.com/kahst/BirdNET-Analyzer#34-setup-windows

    24/7 Raspberry Pi/birdNET monitoring

    If anyone is using the BirdWeather app don't forget to keep up with new releases, a new one got posted yesterday (v1.5.4) with 'bug fixes and performance improvements'. Worth noting that just 5 days earlier there was another (v1.5.2) with the same description!
  24. LittleBitOfBreadNoCheese

    24/7 Raspberry Pi/birdNET monitoring

    Correction to the above, I had a look at the v1.5 birdweather app and it does have species specific notifications under Mobile App Settings - Notifications, you can either have all new species or pick from a list. Of course you will have to put up with the odd false positive or two... Also...
  25. LittleBitOfBreadNoCheese

    24/7 Raspberry Pi/birdNET monitoring

    I don't think anything does that out of the box, if you have some coding skills the birdNET-Pi project is probably a better approach as its open source so you could just add the custom alerts to the code.
