Lots of interesting birds on my lunch walk

3 years ago by mjohanning to c/birding

I always take a walk around my office during lunch. Finally managed to see and also record a firecrest. Such a tiny but cool-looking bird!

I hope Lemmy is updated to make it easy to see feeds from identical communities in the same feed, so people will just post in their favourite instance, not all of them.

Cross-posting to all of them will get old, fast.

Is this you're telling me I shouldn't crosspost stuff to other communities? Is it frowned upon? I'm sorry if it is!

Nah, you're good. People do it all the time. People are just trying to be active in Lemmy so it grows. We are in some of the same communities so I saw it twice. No biggie to me

Okay, that's good to hear then :-)

I guess Lemmy is a little bit half-baked in some areas still, I'm sure it'll be ironed out in the coming weeks and months!

Woah, does the app pick out each bird from a single recording, or do you have to get it to focus on one?

It will pick out each bird it hears in real time highlighting it on the list. You can watch the app and start to learn the bird calls.

I thought I was high for a second. I just replied to your identical post in another community (right?) And this one was next in my feed and I got really confused. Lol

Will give Merlin app a try. Used another app, but most of the time I get mixed results

Welcome to /c/birding, a community for people who like birds, birdwatching and birding in general! Feel free to post your birding photos or just photos of birds you found in general, but please follow the rules as outlined below.

  1. This should go without saying, but please be nice to one another. No petty insults, no bigotry, no harassment, hate speech,nothing of that sort! Depending on the severity, you'll either only get your comment removed and a warning or your comment will be removed and you will be banned from /c/birding.

  2. This is a community for posting content of birds, nothing else. Please keep the posts related to birding or birds in general.

  3. When posting photos or videos that you did not take, please always credit the original photographer! Link to the original post on social media as well, if there is one.

  4. Absolutely no AI-generated content is allowed! I know it has become quite difficult to tell whether or not something is AI-generated or not, but please make sure that whatever you post is not AI-generated. If it is, your post will be removed. If you continously post AI-generated content, you'll be banned from /c/birding (but it's obviously okay if you post AI-generated stuff once or twice without knowing you did so).

  5. Please provide rough information location, if possible. This is a more loosely-enforced rule, especially because it is sometimes not possible to provide a location. But if you post a photo you took yourself, please provide a rough location and date of the sighting.
