# swift-150

150 video dataset of common swift feeding behavior from a single nestbox camera in Ireland (2020-2025).

## Structure

- `data/videos/*` - 150 videos (30s each, HEVC, MD5 filenames)
- `data/videos.ndjson` - Labels and metadata

## Labels

Three classes:
- `feeding` - Swift actively feeding
- `possible_feeding` - Ambiguous feeding behavior  
- `not_feeding` - No feeding present

## Context

Captured from GABLE nestbox camera in Ireland. Used to train [SwiftViT-150](https://huggingface.co/odinglynn/swiftvit-150) for analyzing feeding patterns against weather data at scale. Part of climate research identifying concerning feeding behavior correlations.
