Built from the recorded detection data for this reporting period.

Bird activity was stronger than the recent network baseline. Across the network, 140 bird detections were stored from 11 species. 1 of 1 active stations contributed detections.

The leading station totals were Avocet - Swaffham (140).

The soundscape was led by European Robin, which accounted for 54 detections and 39% of all classifications. Other regularly classified voices included House sparrow, Rock Pigeon, and Dunnock.

Looking at the timing, The first likely detection was European Robin at 05:55; the last was European Golden-Plover at 21:32; the busiest hour began at 08:00 and contained 26 detections.

The station finished 57 detections above its preceding seven-day daily average.

These records are automated acoustic classifications and should be treated as likely detections rather than confirmed sightings or verified records.

A note about the data: automated acoustic detections are useful indicators, not guaranteed proof of species presence. Important or unusual records should be independently checked.
