Help with Blackbird and BirdNET issue? (1 Viewer)

[BethShack]

Hi,

I have a recording here and BirdNET in Raven is detecting it as a Blackbird (with a low confidence score).
I have never heard a blackbird make this type of call before, is this a mistake or do they produce this sound and why?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, Blackbird make a similar sound but I don't think this is one as its too high pitched.
It's quite similar to Treecreeper - when was it recorded?..

... or possibly even Redwing? There seem to be several birds calling - or is it just my ears??

Yes I think more than 1 bird, which is why I wondered about the date. 🤔👍🐦

I can’t listen on proper speakers and on my iPad your recording is mainly static

I ran this through the same software and it called all the clips as Treecreeper (but maximum confidence was only 0.51). I am curious how you got it to report Blackbird?

That's my problem too, though it sounds more like the wind!

I tried a different browser with the same result.
