Understanding the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch

Organised by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), the Big Garden Birdwatch encourages individuals to spend an hour counting the birds they see in their gardens or local parks. The data collected provides valuable insights into bird populations and helps identify species in need of conservation efforts.

Introducing Haikubox:Your Digital Bird Identifier

The Haikuboxis an AI-powered device that listens to bird songs in your garden, identifies the species, and shares this information via Wi-Fi to a dedicated website. This real-time identification enhances your birdwatching experience by providing immediate insights into the species present, even those that are more often heard than seen. Setting up the Haikuboxis straightforward, and it operates continuously, ensuring you never miss a moment of avian activity.

Tips for a Successful Birdwatch

1. Prepare Your Space: Ensure your garden is inviting to birds by providing feeders, fresh water, and suitable vegetation for shelter.
2. Familiarise Yourself with Equipment: Spend time getting to know your binoculars or spotting scope and set up the Haikubox in a suitable location with access to Wi-Fi.
3. Choose the Right Time: Birds are often most active during early mornings. Plan your observation during these peak times for increased sightings.
4. Stay Still and Patient: Minimise movement and noise to avoid startling the birds. Patience is key to observing natural behaviours.
