Listen
Distributed nodes capture local soundscape activity without direct disturbance.
Acoustic intelligence platform
Real-time bird activity from distributed soundscape nodes.
Project S.W.A.N. turns passive audio monitoring into structured bird observations, station health data, confidence scores and research-ready exports for schools, communities and ecological researchers.

Detections are likely observations. Confidence, repetition, weather, background noise and similar species all matter.
Why it exists
A monitoring network, not just a bird website.
The public site can still be welcoming, but the identity now centres on what makes S.W.A.N. different: live passive acoustic monitoring, station telemetry, model confidence and exportable ecological data.
02
Classify
AI-supported recognition proposes likely species matches with confidence values.
03
Validate
Privacy checks, station status and data quality warnings give observations context.
04
Export
Researchers can filter, compare and download structured observation datasets.
Network telemetry
Every station should feel like part of a live scientific grid.
This visual direction gives the platform a controlled technical layer: active nodes, latest detections, upload state, confidence, station health and location context all become first-class information.
Schools and public access
The serious system can still have a friendly front door.
This direction does not mean making everything dark and technical. The researcher and network areas can use the acoustic interface, while school resources and public explanations use calmer, simpler sections built from the same identity.
For researchers
Filters, exports, station health and data quality.
For schools
Clear explanations, bird profiles and classroom resources.
For public visitors
Live map, latest detections and simple local wildlife stories.
Acoustic network
Explore live stations, detections and research data.
The platform now uses one visual system: deep acoustic navy, signal cyan, muted amber and clean slate panels across public, school and research areas.
