Display

What the frame shows, and how to change it. Open the admin page at http://<host>.local:8080/admin and use the Display tab.

Modes

Mode	What it shows
Collage (default)	Every bird heard in the lookback window, packed nicely together
Latest bird	The previous bird heard
Newest arrival	The most recent new bird heard

Press A on the panel to step through the modes, or pick one in the admin page.

Collage	Latest bird	Newest arrival

Newest arrival stays put until something new is heard, so it can sit on the same bird for weeks, but will update whenever a new species is observed.

Latest bird only changes when a different species is heard. The same bird calling again all afternoon leaves the page alone. (Like "Newest arrival" but with repeats.)

Heard nothing at all in the lookback window? The page draws a bare perch.

Settings

Lookback window (collage only)

How far back the collage looks, from the last 15 minutes to all time. Default is Today (24 hours).

All time never drops a species, so the page only grows.

Species on the page (collage only)

How many species the collage shows at once, and which it keeps when the window holds more than that. Default is At most 40.

A busy installation can hear over thirty species in a day, and thirty birds on one sheet become very small. Set a limit and pick which to keep:

Which ones to keep	Good for
The most heard	Most detections within a window
The rarest in the window	Least detections within a window
The rarest all time	Least detections ever recorded
The latest heard	The species heard most recently

Show all means all of them. A long lookback at a busy station is yours to bound - past forty or so the birds get small and the labels crowd (but at least you get a cool mosaic!).

Only birds, whatever the setting. BirdNET-Go's labels also cover frogs, crickets and squirrels, and a bat model adds bats - the frame leaves all of it out. They are still detected, and still on its own dashboard at :8090. The log names each one the first time it is heard:

journalctl -u fugleramme-frame | grep "Not a bird"

Layout (collage only)

How the birds are arranged on the page. Default is Spiral.

Layout	What it does
Spiral	Big birds in the middle, small ones around them
Voids	Birds spread out to fill the whole sheet, corners included

Spotlight mode places the latest heard bird in the middle, with the rest packed around it. Default is off.

Labels

Show species names turns the labels on and off, same as B on the panel.

Names come from BirdNET-Go. Pick a primary language and optionally a second, which stacks underneath in parentheses. Which languages are supported, and how they are drawn, is in Languages.

Typeface and size apply to every label.

Numbered key (collage only) gives each bird a number and lists the names to the right in landscape, or below them in portrait, like a poster. (40 birds max, or whatever Species on the page is set to)

A bird the station has never heard before gets a star (★) after its name for its first 24 hours.

No names	Names next to the birds	Two languages

Numbered key	Numbered key, two languages	Numbered key, tall page
