Traditional bird surveys require time and specialist knowledge, so a new project is turning to innovative, AI\u2011powered technology to help. &amp;nbsp; In this episode, we explore how Chirrup acoustic monitors are being used across fourteen farms in Wales to automatically capture and identify birdsong during the dawn chorus. These small, battery\u2011powered devices record daily over a 2\u20133 week period, generating invaluable insights into the birdlife found on a wide range of farm types, from upland sheep farms to productive lowland dairy units. &amp;nbsp; Farming Connect Biodiversity Officer Lynfa Davies&amp;nbsp;visits Rhys Davies&amp;nbsp;of Moor Farm in Holywell to discover which species are thriving on his North Wales dairy farm. They\u2019re joined by ornithologist Keith Offord, who helps unpack the project\u2019s encouraging findings and what they reveal about biodiversity on working farms. &amp;nbsp; Tune in to learn how technology, farming, and conservation are coming together to better understand and support Wales\u2019s bird populations. &amp;nbsp; Pennod 127&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;Defnyddio synwyryddion acwstig i fonitro bioamrywiaeth ffermydd  Mae ffermwyr yn adnabod eu tir yn well nag unrhyw un - ond gall cadw golwg ar y bywyd gwyllt sy'n ymweld \u00e2'u ffermydd fod yn her. Mae arolygon adar traddodiadol yn gofyn am amser a gwybodaeth arbenigol, felly mae prosiect newydd yn troi at dechnoleg arloesol, wedi'i grymuso gan ddeallusrwydd artiffisial (AI) i helpu.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Yn y bennod hon, rydym yn edrych ar sut mae monitorau acwstig Chirrup yn cael eu defnyddio ar draws pedair fferm ar ddeg yng Nghymru i ddal ac adnabod c\u00e2n yr adar yn awtomatig yn ystod c\u00f4r y wawr. Mae'r dyfeisiau bach hyn, sy'n cael eu pweru gan fatri, yn recordio'n ddyddiol dros gyfnod o 2-3 wythnos, gan roi cipolwg amhrisiadwy ar yr adar sy'n bresennol ar ystod eang o&amp;nbsp;ffermydd, o ffermydd defaid ucheldir i unedau llaeth cynhyrchiol ar dir isel.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Mae Lynfa Davies, Swyddog Bioamrywiaeth Cyswllt Ffermio, yn ymweld \u00e2 Rhys Davies o Moor Farm yn Nhreffynnon i ddarganfod pa rywogaethau sy'n ffynnu ar ei fferm laeth yng Ngogledd Cymru. Mae'r adaregydd Keith Offord yn ymuno \u00e2 nhw, sy'n helpu i ddadansoddi canfyddiadau calonogol y prosiect a'r hyn maen nhw'n ei ddatgelu am fioamrywiaeth ar ffermydd gweithredol.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Gwrandewch ar y bennod hon er mwyn dysgu sut mae technoleg, ffermio a chadwraeth yn dod at ei gilydd i ddeall a chefnogi poblogaethau adar Cymru yn well. &amp;nbsp; ","author_name":"Ear to the Ground \/ Clust i'r Ddaear","author_url":"http:\/\/farmingconnect.libsyn.com\/website","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/39848725\/height\/300\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"300\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/197802360"}
