Norfolk Island are using The Cacophony Project Bird Monitors to create hotspots of various birds, including Morepork and Feral Chickens. These inform and direct their conservation efforts and will enable them to measure progress over the years.

You can now see tagging stats - what has been tagged, who did it and where.

You can now add notes to bird recordings and flag the recording as requiring review, or cool. Stations with no recordings can now be deleted.

A new cage switch disables the high interaction rate trap when the cage is closed.

The Cayman Islands have seen that The Cacophony Project high interaction rate traps are 10x more effective at catching cats than cage traps.

Changes to the bird tagging interface include: audio band filtering to hear only the frequencies you're interested in (very useful), filters to remove automatic tags you are not interested in, fixes to the spectrogram, and allowing the resizing of tags.

We now have the ability to automatically remove recordings that contain human voices. Also, you can now pin as many tags as you want.

The Cacophony Bird Monitor can now recognise human, kiwi, morepork, whistler, generic bird calls, bellbird, black noddy, blackbird,  crimson rosella, fantail, frog, grey warbler, house sparrow, insect, noise, norfolk gerygone, norfolk robin, rifleman, rooster, silvereye, sooty tern, sparrow, white tern. More improvements are on their way.
