The tri-axial accelerometer (ACC) datasets from European pied flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca) was measured at 100 Hz. Sixty-four tri-axial measurements, totalling 0.64 seconds, were used to form a behaviour segment. The dataset includes 2707 segments each forming a row in the dataset. Each row contains 193 columns. The first 192 columns are ACC measurements from three orthogonal axes, arranged as x, y, z, x, y, z, ...,x, y, z. The final column is of type character containing the corresponding behaviour, including: bill wiping, flying, food shaking, perching, preening, swallowing, and other. The dataset was first used in a journal publication entitled "Accelerometer sampling requirements for animal behaviour classification and estimation of energy expenditure" (https://doi.org/10.1186/s40317-023-00339-w).
