nature listening station

Every place
has a voice.
Now you can hear it.

A solar-powered station listens to your land — identifying birds at dawn, bats at dusk — and publishes a live website with AI naturalist field notes. No mains power, no WiFi, no engineer required.

AI Naturalist

Your land, given a voice.

Every morning, the AI Naturalist reads the night and dawn's detections and writes a field note — what arrived, what it means, what to watch for. Not data. A story.

🌿 AI Naturalist — Dam Mire Wood
Friday 4 July 2026 · Dawn field note

The chorus opened at 03:51 this morning — a Common Chaffinch cutting through the pre-dawn stillness eleven minutes before sunrise. By the time the light arrived, seventeen species had joined in, the damp air carrying sound further than usual through the alders.

A Eurasian Blackcap was heard for the first time this season — a significant moment for this site. Their scratchy, fluty song dominated the mid-canopy from 04:10 onwards. Jackdaws arrived late but loudly, as is their habit, the sky above the wood filling with their flat, carrying calls by half past five.

The night brought two bat passes consistent with Common Pipistrelle along the woodland edge — the first recordings of the week. Worth listening for again tonight.

📖
Written at dawn, every day
The AI Naturalist reads every detection from the past 24 hours and writes a fresh field note each morning — what species arrived, when the chorus peaked, anything unusual or seasonal.
🦅
Genuinely contextual
It knows the location, the season, the species expected — and flags when something unexpected appears. A Blackcap arriving early. A species not heard for weeks. Context that turns data into meaning.
🌐
Published to your station page
The field note appears on your station's public website automatically. Share the link with guests, embed it in your own site, or print it for a notice board. The story of your land, updated daily.
🦇
Birds and bats, together
The Naturalist covers both — the dawn bird chorus and the dusk bat emergence. Over months and years, it builds a picture of seasonal patterns unique to your location.

What heardhere logs

More than detections.

Every station captures a continuous, timestamped record of acoustic activity at your location. Over time, this becomes a genuinely valuable ecological dataset.

How it works

Plug in a mast. Get a website.

The whole system is self-contained — power, connectivity and intelligence built in. You mount it, we handle the rest.

Step 1
📡
Mount the station
A weatherproof enclosure on a mast or post. Solar panel charges the battery. The unit connects to 4G automatically on first power-up via a simple setup page on your phone.
Step 2
🎙️
It listens continuously
Two microphones run in parallel — a standard microphone for birds at 48kHz and an ultrasonic microphone for bats at 384kHz. BirdNET identifies birds at dawn; BatDetect2 identifies bats at dusk.
Step 3
☁️
Data goes to the cloud
Every 15 minutes, detections are uploaded over 4G to Cloudflare's global network. No local server, no storage to manage. Data is retained indefinitely — your station builds a long-term record.
Step 4
🌿
The AI Naturalist writes
Each morning, an AI naturalist reads the night and dawn's detections and writes a field note for your station. Species, timing, seasonal context, anything unusual — updated daily.
Step 5
🌐
Your station goes live
A public website at yourname.heardhere.uk shows live detections, the AI Naturalist field note, species lists, and activity charts. Share it, embed it, or link it from your own site.

📊
We watch every unit
A fleet dashboard monitors every station's battery level, signal strength, and detection activity. We know if something goes quiet before you do — and we'll be in touch.

Who it's for

Built for people who care about a place.

Anyone who manages, stewards, or loves a piece of land — and wants to know what lives there.

Campsites & glamping
A reason to come back
Share last night's bat count with guests at breakfast. Show the dawn chorus on the farm website. A heardhere station turns the natural world around your site into a living amenity.
Example: "17 species heard this morning including a first-of-season Blackcap — all logged at ghyllhead.heardhere.uk"
Nature reserves & conservation
Continuous monitoring without effort
Track species arrivals across seasons. Generate public-facing data for funders and supporters. The AI Naturalist writes the story of your reserve — automatically, every morning.
Suitable for Friends of groups, community nature reserves, and wildlife trusts looking for accessible citizen science data.
Schools & education
Live citizen science
A station on the school grounds or in the local park becomes a living science project. Real species, real data, updated every day. Seasonal rental available for term-length projects.
Curriculum links: GCSE and A-level Biology, Geography fieldwork, Primary science. Data downloadable as CSV.
Allotments & community gardens
Your patch, documented
Know which birds visit your allotment each season. Track bat activity through the year. Build a long-term record of the wildlife that shares your growing space — and share it with your community.
Multiple allotments or plots can share a single station — site name and URL set during setup.

4G SIM not included. Each unit requires a data SIM for 4G connectivity. We recommend a low-data SIM from SMARTY, Three, or similar — typical usage is 50–100MB/month. The SIM, contract, and any associated costs are the responsibility of the customer. We can advise on suitable options during setup.
