Reposted by Scott W.Peter Stronach @macstronach.bsky.social · 20/12/2024Thought I’d check how the Birdweather PUC AI hive mind is getting on redefining species distributions unconstrained by the weaknesses of human eyes, hearing and oversight. Here’s a thread of the best new distribution maps starting with Crested Tit - a radical population shift south! #UKbirding 8416
