Summary
Across the coasts of Northern Europe, flu outbreaks are threatening large colonies of birds, and this is increasingly common amid coastal habitat destruction and climate change. This project aims to collect large amounts of health data from seabirds as well as video for behaviour analysis. These recordings will train machines so that users can identify sick birds using simple video recordings.
