Today, I set up my new Birdnet-Pi,a raspberry Pi, running an app that detects and identifies birds by their calls. This is my first half day of recording birds.
Image description: A screenshot of the Birdnet Pi web interface. At the top, it shows a breakdown of birds from that day, sorted by species and time. In order of total number of occurrences, the birds listed are Torresian Crow, Australasian Figbird, Noisy Miner, Barn Owl, Rainbow Lorikeet and Blue-faced Honeyeater. Beneath the list of birds, it shows a waveform graphic for the audio of the latest bird call identitied by the system. In this instance, a Torresian Crow.
I only set it up today, so it hasn’t even been 24 hours yet, but 24/7 is the plan!
We haven’t bothered with water proofing as it’s set up on the back deck of my house, which is under a roof. We do have a plastic case for the Pi though, just to protect it from incidental environmental issues, but it’s by no means water sealed.
