Birds from France classifier

This is a classifier for over 600 bird species seen in France. It was trained to recognize a single bird, pictures with more birds yield unpredictable results. Try to frame the picture close for best results.

It uses a fine-tuned ConvNext small model and had 90% accuracy on the validation set. It is biased towards adult male birds due to the higher prevalence of male specimens in pictures and is most likely less accurate on females and juveniles.

It should get the family right but may fail to differentiate between close species.
