Description

Our apps are British-made, by British naturalists - we know our stuff! Fantastic photos, songs, calls, distribution maps and detailed information for over 200 birds - all the common and best known birds in Britain arranged by family or alphabetically. The specially written bird notes cover the appearance, habitat, diet, lifespan, nesting habits, rarity status, and distribution in Britain, as well as interesting facts.
The photo-based Bird Finder will quickly identify a mystery bird, then you can mark it as seen, add your own photos, and make a note about it. Automatically note the current date, time, latitude, longitude and Grid Reference. The app includes iCloud syncing, so that if you have more than one device (iPhone, iPod or iPad) your sightings will automatically synchronise.

Location Information

The App is great but would be much better if the location of sightings were given as What3words location rather than Latitude and Longitude.

So useful

I use this app at least once or twice a week, either to ID new birds or to confirm ID on things I think I know! It’s so useful: easy and intuitive to use, and gives more than just a simple ID, including calls, and images of birds at different stages of development.

Not to bad

Great tool finding and spotting birds

Great way of finding and spotting birds. I use this for leashes and also with my class when out on first school or trips.

Excellent app

Congratulations on this steadily improving app. Marvellous. 1st class. Get it now!

Too many missing birds

Lots of British birds missing on this app - informed the writer - Hilary Lind who confirmed birds are deliberately left out so people will put Purchase their Birds of Britain Pro App for £12 - don’t waste your money with this. They claim to be helpful and listen to recommendations but they’re not. Use Merlin instead - the writers are always welcome there to update their lists at no extra cost - or excuse

Good App

This is a nice app. Useful info, decent pics. Altogether a really nice app. A few species could be added - Great White Egret, Mediterranean Gull and a few others, but I’m sure they will come in forthcoming upgrades. John

Some birds not listed

When I first purchased this app I thought it was fantastic however, lately when I’ve been out and tried to ID a bird, the bird has not been listed in the app, i.e., Great Egret and Twite which are both reasonably well known in the UK which is very disappointing so now I’m thinking of purchasing an alternative app so I don’t miss out on a positive ID. Sometimes a quick ID is needed while the bird is in front of you. Waiting until getting and home to Google normally means the characteristics of the bird have been lost from memory.

Great app but missing some birds

I have had this app for years and use it all the time and love it. It’s easy to use, has good quality pictures, and has all the most common birds and songs that most people will need. It’s missing some that I am interested in though, so please keep adding to the species lists, e.g. like Cirl bunting and Golden Oriole, and more song clips please (still missing for some species).

Very good app, but...

I really like this app but a cursory look showed that the Shrikes that can be seen in Britain (Red Backed and Great Grey) are missing. May find more omissions on a deeper inspection, but I hope not.
