"Counting breeding shorebirds using listening devices"

Wadertales excellent summary of a paper looking at using passive recording devices (audiomoths) and automatic detection to survey upland waders

The paper - Acoustic detection rate can outperform traditional survey approaches in estimating relative densities of breeding waders

#Arctic nightlife: #Seabird colony bursts with sound at night https://phys.org/news/2024-03-arctic-nightlife-seabird-colony-night.html

#AcousticMonitoring reveals a diel rhythm of an arctic seabird colony (little #auk, Alle alle) https://www.nature.com/articles/s42003-024-05954-8

"Every summer, approximately 60 million #birds come to this region to breed and forage, and while their vocalization is a familiar summer #soundscape for the local inhabitants, little is known to #science about their daily routines and calling habits."

Had the Audiomoth out last night first time in ages, not sure if it will detect anything but I remembered about it after an interesting discussion on using passive accoustic monitoring to detect rats on islands. You can also use it for NocMig (recording the calls of nocturnally migrating birds overnight) which I'd never thought of!
