    24/7 Raspberry Pi/birdNET monitoring

    90% sure (checked recording) - BirdNET PI was correct in picking up a Marsh Harrier call today (I've never heard one - seen loads though) so over 4 months its managed recordings of the following raptors: Barn Owl Tawny Owl Marsh Harrier Red Kite Buzzard Kestrel Sparrowhawk pretty impressive

    2 Warbler Sound IDs (Garden Warbler vs Blackcap, Cettis) plus Scoter

    thanks very much for all of the replies -much appreciated. It is very nice (and appreciated) to have these species confirmed (thankyou) as they are unusual/wouldn't have known about without a BirdNET Pi device picking up. The Garden Warbler and Cettis - GW 1 instance of hours of singing but...

    2 Warbler Sound IDs (Garden Warbler vs Blackcap, Cettis) plus Scoter

    wondered if anyone can help me with confirming (or not) these bird recordings please to help improve my bird sound ID. These 3 were picked up by BirdNET Pi which is bottom of the garden - I think they may be correct but I really struggle Blackcap vs Garden Warbler. The Cettis (if checks out)...

    interestingly my BirdNET Pi picked one up yesterday too (I think) - maybe they are on the move

    24/7 Raspberry Pi/birdNET monitoring

    I think this is better representation (first part of clip - with the downturn in tone at end of call) can anyone confirm whether they think this one is Cettis please ? detected twice and sounds like it to me but would be unusual for my garden. First recording is followed by a Blue Tit. One...

    24/7 Raspberry Pi/birdNET monitoring

    I believe BirdNET was correct with Garden Warbler and that my manual listening to confirm (you never know I could be in error too) is also correct I did also check against Merlin

    24/7 Raspberry Pi/birdNET monitoring

    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 -...

    Owl or Mammal ?

    thankyou and I definitely get what you mean by it sounding too volumous for an owl in the kindly provided link above I listened to all the vocalisations of Tawny Owl and Long Eared Owl (they are meant to be in the village, and I've heard in the next village a few miles away) and none sounded...

    Owl or Mammal ?

    it is but from the house rarely heard or seen in around 4 years, I've heard a Barn Owl once and Tawny Owl once. Although I do see Barn Owls very regularly when driving about the area near dark - I've never seen one from the house - even though I've spent multiple times for half an hour at a...

    Owl or Mammal ?

    I can't be certain but I think would be difficult for a human to make that noise, and it was at 11.20pm - house is at end of a culdesac and there is very little noise at night from neighbours etc. One side of house is right up against field - Mic in the back garden was located by the fence that...

    Owl or Mammal ?

    lol :) - the odd thing is though - I've listened to loads of videos on youtube for dog, deer, fox all sorts of vocalisations and not found something near and don't know how to describe it but the "roundness"/maybe harmonics just sounds a bit more bird like than mammal - although I freely admit...

    Owl or Mammal ?

    I have to admit that was one of my first thoughts - but I've gone through numerous videos online of all of the European Deer (and wider) of their various calls and I can't find anything close
