Looks fantastic
Picked them up on my bird detector a few days ago. Same time as last year within a few days
Great to get a BirdNET-pi up at Fintry Library with such wonderful staff. Follow at biodiversidee.vercel.app
Last year the first recorded call on my network was 5th March, then two weeks before a few more. Then a full flock on 29th
This is what I have been waiting for. First chiffchaff recording of the year today.
Car on fire on A92 Nort between Kirkaldy and Glenrothes
This was February/March 2023/2024. Audio detection and only a tiny handful of calls.
Nice. The bird detector picked some up in my front garden (Lochee) a few years ago. Weren't back this year. Quite early for them?
Attention membrane traffickers! I'm recruiting a post-doc to my lab in Dundee. We're dissecting the functions of intrinsically disordered domains of COPII coat proteins. We think they control timing of coat assembly and morphology of carriers.

It's a nice walk up there too..
Listening to the Proms. Has anyone scored the prologue to JFK for pipes and drums? It would be an awesome lament.
www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/dund... may have something to do with it.. A kipper is a smoked herring.
Tawny Owl making a lot of noise on Balgay Hill tonight
@dundeecitycouncil.bsky.social Can you get physical signage up when busses are rerouted. 30 people waiting at West Marketgait for busses that aren't coming.
Not many of those flies around. (Ain't no flies on us)
Like this one that flowered last month in Dundee
If only peace campaigners were prescribed orgs...
Great to see the corpse flower in bloom at Dundee botanics. Last chance tomorrow as it only blooms for a short time.

Congratulations to all our students graduating this year at @dundeeuni.bsky.social School of Life Sciences. Well done and well deserved awards. Looking forwards to celebrating tomorrow at the Caird Hall and on Campus
Successfully deployed
Today starts with a field trip. Quite literally I am going to a field to test the solar birdnet detector. Then on to exam board jollities and other fun stuff.
A bit of hacking and the mothbox is now live. Testing tonight in the garden
Didn't see that one coming...
Lots of common whitethroat at the James Hutton Living Field. I have an audio detector there that can be monitored at biodiversidee.vercel.app or at app.birdweather.com
Yoou cant go chasing the robot (CnutAI) but instead learn how to teach and assess what you want rather than using the formulae of the past which was a very different time. Yes, when I was a student some profs wouldn't mark anything other than a handwritten piece b/c of copy and paste.
Nonsense. The line is impossible to draw unless you go back to handwriting everything. If we are educating for the modern age then we need to be assessing person and process, not product. Using an AI is fine, if you critically assess the output and are able to appropriately attribute.
The problem is they see the product as being what is assessed, not the person. And so they will produce a suitable product.
Here is a sedge warbler for you. Kinnordy Loch on the May bank holiday. flic.kr/p/2r2Y9wq
And great to hear a Cuckoo at Backwater reservoir (just a recording on the phone) youtube.com/shorts/0TDY2...
Sedge warbler, Kinnordy flic.kr/p/2r2Y9wq Very pleased with this shot.
The warbler was less pleased and gave me a bit of a stare.. flic.kr/p/2r2Y9w5
