By no means an orchid fanatic, it does please me when they rebloom, and only then will I show them here

We were lucky enough to spend the weekend at a medieval castle deep in the Umbrian countryside. I look my portable Birdnet-Pi along, completely forgetting that it needed to connect to the internet to set the correct time. I remembered, however, that the analyses require no connection. So, what the heck, I stuck the microphone out of the window on a couple of nights. I shouldn’t be surprised, but what a treat; 39 species, many for the first time.

Time of day is obviously not entirely accurate, but so what. It was a pity we slept soundly through the nightingale. The redstart was indeed very common and sometimes very loud. The jackdaws I thought might have been choughs. All in all, a treat to come home and listen to some of the recordings.
Now I really need to either spoof my iPhone or add a real-time-clock chip with battery if I want to know exactly when the nightingales sang.
