Built from the recorded detection data for this reporting period.

A lower level of activity stood out in the Avocet - Swaffham soundscape on 12 September 2026. The station recorded 50 bird detections across 11 species on 12 September 2026.

European Robin was the most frequently classified species, with 13 detections (26% of the daily total). Other regularly classified voices included House sparrow, Common House-Martin, and Rook.

Looking at the timing, The first likely detection was European Robin at 05:32; the last was Common Grasshopper-Warbler at 21:02; the busiest hour began at 06:00 and contained 10 detections.

That total was 39% below the preceding seven-day daily average of 82.3.

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.
