Hello @avit -- there is a lot to go through here, but I did want to bring to your attention the resampling that is possible in "Species Stats" -- resampling will allow you to keep the abundant magpie data while resampling it down to hourly occurrences. That's all from me for now -- there is a lot more for me to unpack here, but I wanted you to know my initial thought |

I've just pushed a commit to main that allows you to use the "NOT" operator in Today's Detections search feature. For example, you can search: Maybe this feature can be built out to be site-wide, i.e. to exclude a species from showing on all the UI stuff but still leave it in the database. I do also want to mention that you may find "Recordings" more helpful than "Today's Detections," because it basically groups all the detections into their distinct species. It also allows you to sort by date, # of occurences, and confidence so you can find just the detections you're interested in. Good suggestion, hopefully this can be seen through in the nearish future. 🐤 |

Thanks @ehpersonal38, that |

Okay I've done a little more work regarding this - you can test it out with:
Then any species you add to the list will be excluded from Overview and Today's Detections. Anyone wishing to contribute to this branch, be my guest! (i.e. for adding this to notifications, too) |

I am surrounded by magpies (pica hudsonia). I'm detecting a lovely variety of other species but the number of magpie calls is well over 100 to 1. These are very chatty birds.
I'm thinking of ideas for how to improve the UX for this situation. What I'd like to address is:
I could probably just add them to ignored species, but I also don't want to skew the data by pretending we don't have those birds here. I'm also interested in when they come and go, despite being so common.
I'm wondering if it would make sense to select certain species as "common" (or else automatically flag them based on relative numbers) so they can be handled differently:
Combine repeat detections together
If the previous detection is the same species, only show the latest one (or best one).
Show the number of repeat occurrences with a time range from first to last.
This should be possible even without a "common" flag, but for less common birds it seems better to not hide any of the recordings, making it possible to review them all.
Only show 1 of each species in Latest Detections
This is similar to combining repeat detections, but I think showing [magpie, robin, collared dove] is more helpful than [magpie, robin, magpie]. In other words, 5 latest unique species.
Exclude common species from notifications
The "infrequent" option for notifications is a good start, but if a detection shows up a few times a day then it stops notifying. I would still like to notify for all birds, but only ignore the most common ones.
Option to hide common species from charts
The proportions get lost when the first bar is 100x longer than the rest. The default could be to exclude common species from the graphic, with an option to show them for completeness.
