Took a mental health stroll today. Used my #MerlinApp to identify some birds (and heard a juvenile red tail hawk and a house sparrow) and took these photos of flowers in our front bed. If anyone wants to help ID the blue #flower then go for it, we lost the tag. #PlantIdentification

This little guy is blasting out warbles in front of my house, a nice change from the chiffchaff and fieldfare calls that usually dominate the neighborhood.

One curious omission from the list of #MerlinApp bird calls in vicinity of Frankby/Thurstaston (and hence Royden) seems to be the green woodpecker or yaffle. Not calling greatly at the moment but its laughing call was much evident a few months ago and #Royden even has a special green woodpecker trail. I guess it's possible the app listing responds to seasons though such precision doesn't seem likely?
Evening walk: heard a willow warbler and a song thrush, as well as the usual suspects. And had to climb a gate #MerlinApp
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! 🏙️ 🏘️🐦🦆🦢🦅🦖

This little critter had such an unusual call I downloaded the #MerlinApp to identify it. Audio in the comments.

Lots of birds on my morning walk today, Merlin detected 19 and there's another 6 that I saw, but that refused to sing. One red list species too.
That was roughly here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZorD4FJL7FrcSBEn9

Busy day outside the office. I was surprised it was only 3 species. #MerlinApp
First #WillowWarbler of the year in the park this morning! ☺️

A #TreeSparrow? In #Dundonald?! 😳
The #Merlin app heard one among the usual suspects along the #ComberGreenway this morning.
I haven’t seen a Tree Sparrow for years and I suppose it could have been a House Sparrow with a cough but it’d be excellent if true 🤞🏻☺️
