The box pillar has become infested with box caterpillars defoliating it like mad. We've pulled off all the ones we could find, they were beginning to spin cocoons, and asking with some leaves I've put them on the bird feeder in full sun.
Hopefully the small birds will do their thing.

This is the view right out my kitchen window at 400mm; zoomed in you might see a few seeds in this cardinal's mouth that he got from our bird feeder.

Today we are enjoying the problem with trying to do bird detection when your bird feeder has two blue tit sized ceramic birds on the edge.

Weirdly it only detects them randomly even though they're in every frame.

Doubly weirdly the Python OpenCV code is much more reliable about detecting birds than the Go OpenCV code using the same input and DNN model (but is awful for CPU usage - 500% compared to ~120% for the Go.)

(Tempted to invest in a Movidius NPU. Anyone us…

Hung up the yellow bird feeder and lo! a chickadee appeared.
