Birdwatching has become more mainstream in the last five years or so, not least thanks to a mix of mental health awareness and better tech. What was once a hobby reserved for folks in waterproofs and binoculars has opened up to something that many of us can now get involved with from our smartphones and the best bird feeder cameras.
The Birdfy Rookie is one of the latest in a long line of plastic smart cameras, designed to bring nature closer and let you watch your local bird visitors. Birdfy is one of the main players in the market, and it claims that its built-in AI can recognise over 6,000 bird species (not that I have more than five regulars in my English garden).
