Birding, mostly … Cornwall, mostly …
@lobb66.bsky.socialToday’s ‘Black/eared Kite’ off the A30 at Camborne. There were likely 5 Buff-breasted Sandpipers at Davidstow. 4 in a distinct tight ‘flock’ together with a single one 250 mtrs away who preferred the company of Ringed Plovers. #cornwallbirding
@jonniprice.bsky.socialReposted by @lobb66.bsky.socialVery grateful to @lobb66.bsky.social and @liamlangley1.bsky.social for sharing their patch with us for an enjoyable seawatching session from St Ives Head this morning. The rest of the day was a little more relaxed for us, with a walk at Zennor and lunch in The Tinners Arms. #UKBirding #CornwallBirds
@lobb66.bsky.socialFrom the SD card upload as normal & bounce the .wav files against any analyser you want. I use Chirpity and/or BirdNet analyser. I find Chirpity is quicker and more ‘user friendly’. BirdNet is a little more ‘indepth’ but possibly more accurate but I haven’t done any proper analysis comparisons.
@lobb66.bsky.social@liamlangley1.bsky.social Martin - I’ve been using the SM Micro 2 for 3 months. Leaving it to record all day/night mostly. You can programme it to your own listening time & .wav file lengths. I set it to 30 mins & thus create 40+ .wav files in an ‘overnight’ session.
@lobb66.bsky.socialDecent morning around Clodgy. Firecrest early am. A Merlin dashed west along cliff line and a Dartford Warbler popped up and back down briefly in a gorse ‘island’ in the midst of the bracken. #cornwallbirding
@lobb66.bsky.socialUnfortunately no sign this am from dawn. Despite the presence of James the Zenmeister of Zennor. Maybe it will pop up next week for you, Niall.
@niallmachin1.bsky.socialReposted by @lobb66.bsky.socialMy son James found this booted warbler in Zennor, Cornwall last thing today. Top find! #cornwallbirding

@lobb66.bsky.social@lobb66.bsky.socialGah - I got carried away with the Med Fly 🙄
@lobb66.bsky.socialThey’re full fat ticks because of recent-ish splits?
@lobb66.bsky.socialMust have just missed you, Steve.
