🇦🇹 Wieder mal Mauersegler ... heute bei etwas besserem Licht ins Nest geflogen. Und ein kleiner Schwarm (nennt man auch "Screaming party"), der eine kleine Air-Show veranstaltet 🙂

🇬🇧 Again the common swifts - this time I had more light than yesterday resulting in better pictures. Also a screaming party doing a little air show 🙂

🇦🇹 Fotobeweis dass die Mauersegler da nisten.
Leider kommen die da immer spät heim. Heute um 21:20. Da ist es schon sehr dunkel für brauchbare Fotos.

Die Bilder sind daher sehr stark entrauscht, was auch notwendig war bei einer Aufnahme mit ISO 102.400, 1/500s und 600mm 🙂

🇬🇧 Finally got the proof, that the common swifts have a nest under the roof of the house on the other side of the street.

🇬🇧 Slowly the quality of my common swift pictures is getting better.

Nachtrag zum #Mauerseglertag ...

I installed the #merlinapp for identifying #birds today. In under 2 minutes of Sound ID it found 6 birds around my garden, even with traffic and other noises in the background. 🤩

I confirmed those four birds where I'm very sure that they are correct.

It can play back the parts of the #recording that are from a certain bird, so that I can maybe learn the sounds myself. :masto_reading:

The only thing that's a bit annoying is that it displays the bird names in English. The whole app and the description texts of the birds (from #wikipedia) are in German, just the names of the birds (kind of the core thing here) are in English.

Now I just need something that identifies insects and spiders for me.

I know that these are some of the most common, boring birds available, but hey, we're in a large city here and it was just the first short test! 🏙️ 🏘️🐦🦆🦢🦅🦖
