Group each flight sequence
Keep consecutive frames together and compare them as one event. This makes it easier to avoid keeping several nearly identical images by accident.
Inspect the eye and head
Zoom in to check whether the bird’s eye and head are acceptably sharp for the intended image. Motion blur can be intentional, so assess the photograph rather than applying one universal threshold.
Compare wing position and gesture
Look for an expressive wing shape, unobstructed head, clean silhouette and a moment that communicates behaviour. A technically sharp frame can still be a weaker composition.
Select a small, deliberate shortlist
Keep the best frame and a few meaningful alternatives when they differ in pose or storytelling. Review AI suggestions before rejecting borderline frames.
