birdNET in South London ? (1 Viewer)

[Sqauker]

Hello : Is there anyone out there who has birdNET working successfully in the south london area ?
Specifically if you go menu explore your area > Does it bring up any kind of listing at all ?
Tried and tried but cant even get close to a single robin. Explore your area only return sorry not available message ?
Just want to know if its me or some general lack of mapping to UK yet ?

On samsung galaxy core . Records fine. Shows GPS but comes with really wild shots at even just a single robin next to me,

Grateful to know if its just me . Contacted Cornell univ but nothing yet. Ms M

I thought birdnet had ceased trading as an information service and were only concentrating on optic sales (albeit from the house in Buxton rather than the shop). Still great value, I suspec.

Unless, of course, someone is using their name !

ooh cross purposes mike. This is an app. Hear a bird singing the app tells you what it is. or best guess. Be wonderful to have . Guys in USA cornell univ ( not Buxton optics) Alas I'm thinking they haven yet mapped out to south london. Just keep my fingers crossed may happen soon.

ciao Sq

BirdNET is a research platform that aims at recognizing birds by sound at scale. We support various hardware and operating systems such as mobile phone platforms. BirdNET – The easiest way to identify birds by sound.

Oh, thank you.
Cornell’sElton App. is pretty good but I hadn’t heard of an App. which was any good for bird song.

Does it work ?
Do you use your phone’s microphone or a plug in directional microphone ?

cheers

The BirdNET app does work, although it is still in the development stages. I use my the built in microphone from my phone. As an added bonus, you get a real-time sonogram of what you are hearing.

They also have an online version. You can learn more about it here.
You can upload audio files you wish to analyze here.
With the online version you can see the different species as the recording plays.
