...hone the recognition software, so we can all better monitor for bitterns across Tasmania.
It's fun, there'll be great snacks, & you don't need to be an expert. Have a go for National Science Week!

As the habitat improves, will #CallTrackers start to record the haunting curlew call & the bittern's boom?
Now we can find out.

Far eastern curlews have declined rapidly, facing disturbance, pollution & habitat loss in China, Russia, SE Asia, Aus & NZ— & on their migration routes between these. It's our largest shorebird; & check that incredible bill!
Hence restoration efforts at the Mersey estuary—

This season, we can announce a new call recogniser in the software: for Critically Endangered FAR EASTERN CURLEWS, seen but rarely heard in #Tasmania.
It recognised calls from our 1st recordings near curlews, at dusk & dawn.
Where else will #CallTrackers detect them?

These annual #volunteer -run surveys across Tasmania, using recorders borrowed from libraries, can help track changes in these species' distributions & numbers.
We can even head back in time, to pick out calls of species that the Acoustic Pipeline can now recognise, from stored recordings...

...and keep your eyes peeled for VERY exciting news coming soon, about the species we can learn about through CallTrackers acoustic monitoring...
