yeah I find it fascinating even for the common birds what sings when.

also if have the BirdNET Pi on a 2nd screen somewhere (tablet etc) its a good lazy way if want to photo or see a particular bird - can view live what it is identifying and say it keeps coming up with Jay you can be pretty sure there is one in the garden to see and photo

also those things that happen that you missed as only lasted 3 minutes and weren't outside. I saw a Buzzard fly across back of the garden - daily occurrence. But when I looked at what the Pi had detected for the day - it had picked up a Buzzard calling then 2 seconds later a female Tawny Owl (11am this was too !) - did they happen to both call at same time or did the Buzzard spook the Tawny or vice versa.

I've only heard a Tawny Owl once here in 4 years, the Pi has already picked one up 2 separate evenings, and once during the day (today)

heard a Tawny Owl call in the middle of the day at a reserve about a month back too - took me completely by surprise. 1st time I had heard one during the middle of the day

[QUOTE="Buckster, post: 4581055, member: 31785"] yeah I find it fascinating even for the common birds what sings when. also if have the BirdNET Pi on a 2nd screen somewhere (tablet etc) its a good lazy way if want to photo or see a particular bird - can view live what it is identifying and say it keeps coming up with Jay you can be pretty sure there is one in the garden to see and photo :) also those things that happen that you missed as only lasted 3 minutes and weren't outside. I saw a Buzzard fly across back of the garden - daily occurrence. But when I looked at what the Pi had detected for the day - it had picked up a Buzzard calling then 2 seconds later a female Tawny Owl (11am this was too !) - did they happen to both call at same time or did the Buzzard spook the Tawny or vice versa.
