Birder: patch birding , sound recording, migration, and rare birds occasionally
Sono looks good for OBP. Reaches 8 kHz and less modulation than in tree pip.

It was never me processing the data, but I think the intention was that once amalgamated, records would be assessed (where necessary) in the normal way.

It was developed by @d.bradnum@bluesky.social . I reckon he’ll be a much better person to ask about it!

But even if they can’t effect that much change on the recording scene overwhelmingly everything else they do is worthy of support. Glad you decided to stick with it - from someone who had a similar wobble, let my membership lapse and then re-joined!

Completely agree with Steve’s assessment. SOC is a force for good, bringing county recorders together for meetings being a great example. What SOC can achieve in this area is really limited as ultimately recorders can do whatever they want (and not all are affiliated with SOC.

Hi Jared, the conversion tool you talk about does exist - converting eBird data to BirdTrack and recorder friendly things like grid refs, Uk naming conventions etc. I think in Borders the issue is a personal dislike of eBird/loyalty to the BTO and BirdTrack. Not much else to it, unfortunately.

Ooooof. My only record was in late September too. One I thought might remain a blocker for a while…

You’ll be glad when they’re no longer description spp!

I’m hearing that a lot this year

I learned a lot while I was making this recording. It's no secret that cars make excellent hides. What's mentioned less is that cars make less excellent hides for people using a parabola! 4/10 but might try again...

I’ve wondered whether this was possible for ages but it never struck me to do anything about it….
