We get buzzards overhead and in winter we are right on the flightpath for huge movements of geese ( one of the most fabulous sounds in nature, especially at night ). I often see Cormorants and Herons heading over to the river some way behind the house ( saw an Osprey there on a lockdown walk a few weeks ago ).
I've been fascinated by wildlife since I was a kid and could not live somewhere I could not spend time watching the coming and going of various visitors, even the family of 6 grey squirrels that hang out in the garden (used to have reds, sadly long gone ).
My feedback thread is here.
Part of the fast.ai course I've been half-heartedly following involves builiding a dog breed classifier. I might have a crack at a bird one using a raspberry pi camera. Don't be surprised if this never happens tbh
Always amazes me how many Flamingoes in the Rhone Delta .....especially Camargue
As for "when am I ready?" You'll never be ready. It works in reverse, you become ready by doing it. - pmbomb
It was in a swoop dive so it was amazing to watch ......bird was massive ...it could have been an escaped Eagle Owl even .
All over so quick and without realising what was happening I didn't see the bird clearly enough .
