However, broader sources of data about avian activity are needed, to improve the information available for environmental management. Technology advances have seen acoustic monitoring emerge as a new way to study birds. The ever-increasing raw data from acoustic sensors requires processing, to extract information about bird activity. This is a difficult analysis problem, as there are just under 900 bird species in Australia and most have multiple distinct, yet variable, calls. There is an opportunity to extend birding activities to include collection and review of recorded audio. Currently, no acoustic analysis interfaces are available to enable collaboration between ecologists and experienced birders. Effective interfaces require an understanding of the culture and practices of birders, along with how birders can apply their experience to the review of recorded audio.
