Identification of birds by flight pattern (2 Viewers)

[wingbeatwatch]

Hi everyone,

I'm a master's student at the University of Cambridge, and for my final year project, I am working on a system that will hopefully be able to identify the species of a bird from its flight pattern. However, in order to develop the model that determines species, I need a database of videos of birds in flight, and I ask if any of you would be willing to contribute. The videos will only be used for training the model and will not be shared anywhere. Please check out my website, Home | Wingbeat Watch, for further information. I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out!

Hello, welcome to the forum! Please check out Request and download media from the Macaulay Library, where you can request thousands of videos for scientific use without charge. All details should be in the link or at the main website for the Macaulay Library. Cheers and fingers crossed for your research!

I've come across an interesting book regarding the identification of birds by flight pattern, and I think you might enjoy it as well:

Learn its call, and get the book on flight ID, and you will see many more Golden Orioles.
