Just bumping this as only a couple of days left on the kickstarter
Same story here on Goldcrest (we don't get Firecrest up here) and I've seen them plus the sonogram is quite clear.Might well have missed:
Lesser Whitethroat - didn't hear myself but recording checks out - never heard in garden before either.
Garden Warbler - didn't hear myself but recording checks out - never heard in garden before either.
Overflying night birds - Moorhen, Coot, Water Rail - had no clue - have never heard myself.
Siskin - consistently detected not seen or heard personally from garden.
Snipe - detected but not seen or heard personally from garden.
Goldcrest and Firecrest - picked up daily - was not totally convinced as only 5-6 large conifers back of garden. I spent days and days looking and caught a glimpse of one of the other (was too quick to tell which) - so more convinced they are there I've just not seen.
Overflying waders, Dunlin, Avocet (good few times detected) etc
In the winter - Redwing - hadn't seen any - or heard any (but not been outside in garden for periods of time) - yet for a few months Redwing was in top 10 !
Missed first instances of
House Martin - it detected before we saw.
Swallow - it is detecting but despite looking not seen yet
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 past birdNET used to struggle on splitting the two but hopefully it has improved.
I had common scoter over last night that I never would of picked up without the PUC
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, plus Tim (birdweather guy) is pretty responsive if you have a specific (species level) issue.BTO BBS 2023 has a few pages on how they are using BirdNet in the field and developing a UK specific classifier model
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.very interesting thankyou for heads-up on that report
ref BirdNET PI - is it possible to change the recordings to 24 bit please ? I tried but failed
I tried changing all references in birdnet_recording script from s_16LE to s_24LE to no avail - just get very over saturated outputs
