Analysis shows that Brits don’t notice the weather, Germans talk too loudly and Swedes enjoy the great outdoors.

Specialist nature app developers iSpiny weren’t expecting to uncover national stereotypes when they analysed the recordings sent in from their latest app.

The Chirpomatic app is an automatic birdsong identifier. Point the app at a singing bird and the app will tell you what it is.

As well as analysing the correctly identified recordings, iSpiny also analysed the recordings that were not identified and this was where the national stereotypes appeared.

Analysis showed that most British recordings failed as a result of the wind blowing across the microphone.

German recordings failed mainly because people continued loud conversations while recording the bird.

And Swedish recordings mainly failed because the bird was so far away and so quiet that it was masked by the sound of the internal workings of the phone, or even by the sound of the person breathing. (PA)
