I need a program that would recognize bird species from the sounds outside our house. Central/East Europe. One with more false negatives (unrecognized) than false positives (incorrectly recognized). To prove that some birds indeed are here. Retoots appreciated.

EDIT: thanks for all the replies. Apparently Merlin is the solution, even for Eastern Europe. Now I have to find a way to get it running on a PC, not a phone. EDIT2: It must work for hours, unattended.

A question for birdwatching friends who are also nerds:

I want to get a birdhouse cam. We have built birdhouses and would like to see what’s happening inside without interfering at all.

What cam would you get that can be properly secured, connects wirelessly on a secure local network (not streaming, no internet), doesn’t require changing batteries (disturbing the nest) and can be plugged in to a source of electricity. The birdhouse is attached to a barn with power and wifi. Will be purchased from source in Canada.

Advice very much appreciated!
