Think it is climatologically Med there now....

I missed this in the spring - first Dolphin Gull (Leucophaeus scoresbii) record for Brazil macaulaylibrary.org/asset/658076...

++BREAKING++ The UK and Spanish governments have issued a joint statement overnight: "[We] agreed that this summer’s wildfires demonstrated that climate change was now a national security emergency facing Europe and threatening our way of life." www.gov.uk/government/n...

Most Merlin users don't use eBird, this is aimed at increasing the volume of good recordings in eBird.

Now online in Journal of #Ornithology First records of migration route, phenology, and nonbreeding locations of the Desert Purple Martin (Progne subis hesperia) Open Access link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Jon Stewart on the WH Correspondents' Dinner: "It shouldn't ever happen... You can celebrate the First Amendment without asking your opponent in that fight what he thinks. You know what he thinks."

You know what this ISN'T? An LLM. Once more for the folks in the back: nearly all of the actually useful, genuinely promising things that AI can do for us have nothing to do with LLMs & planet-devouring data centers. Hope, not hype. Serving us, not serving us up to Big Tech. @sciam.bsky.social

Heavy winter rainfall in Coto Doñana and elsewhere in Iberia means that waterbirds like Glossy Ibis have had another very successful breeding season. The recent heatwaves will have dried out many wetlands and we can expect another major autumn northward displacement of ibises #Ornithology #UKBirding

Hi Seán, it is always iteratively being retrained - @stephenmenzie.bsky.social is working on WP species principally. Folks working on Merlin and Birdnet are largely independent of one another. Any recordings ported to eBird could be used as training data bit will obviously be interrogated 1st...

@rothiemoon.bsky.social

Just to note that there will be new app functionality to facilitate editing and uploading Merlin recordings into eBird checklists but not a free flow of Merlin data (and false positives) into eBird as seems to be intimated here #UKbirding #Ornithology www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The BBS coverage across England is looking great this year! As things stand, we are on for setting a new record of survey coverage for the country. If you survey a square in England and you haven’t entered your data yet, please do so by 31 August! @btobirds.bsky.social @btoengland.bsky.social

These are not "dangerous tactics". They're de-legitimising journalism reliant on bollocks and tittle tattle, and routing out the culture that feeds it. It's exactly what they should be doing.

If only there were something we could do about the biggest threat that fuels almost all the other threats.

Excellent point about BBC's Burnham interview

"High elevation communities may not be capable of tolerating the rising temperatures that come with climate change, while low elevation communities are already experiencing environmental temperatures that may meet or exceed their thermal limits." 🌍🔥
