Merlin is a good app introducing bird ID and the power of eBird as a birding tool. It does need more data so that the Sound ID functions in Australia. I've used this app in the US and it is unbelievably awesome there. I can't wait until it gets to that point in Aus.
I downloaded the Australia bird packs for my area, done several recording, even on sitting under a tree with several common pied carrawong - app couldn’t even ID those clear calls.
Been using for about a year and now it’s telling me i need to confirm my email to continue. Fine, sure. Except I’ve been trying for days and it won’t send the email. And yes, I’ve checked spam.
Often can find the bird and suggest birds not like your colour choices?
Doesn't identify over 60% of the birds I tried. Not worth the trouble
Buggy doesn’t always work heard other reviews of issues for Australia. Is good when it does work sometimes searches don’t work at all .. other times works ok. Also have had to redone load packs a few times they just disappear
…and so much fun discovering and identifying all our amazing variety of garden birds
The only thing that could make this app better is a customisable bird call/photo quiz function using the sounds and images already in the app. It would be fantastic if the quiz could be customised to filter out life list species, particular genera (e.g. waterfowl) and for a specified location/time.
Recently took a perfect lateral of a small adult bird in Oman. Merlin could not help..how do i submit and get an expert answer. Still learning how to use. Recently in Saudi Arabia and ebird is remarkably deficient. Also sometimes have an incidental or travelling moment. Photograph a bird but cant id as dont know and no internet etc eg Edge of the World in KSA. So difficult to register later. I travel to odd places and often see “rare” birds but try to contribute to the science. Today learned how to add media. Not obvious. Like where is the add photo icon at the register/id page (duh). Ie take the photo, id, add to list. Later submit. You assume id knowledge. For me order is wrong. Easy if at home. Galapagos Is. difficult.. Cook Is. difficult… I want to build my life list and add to the science. Note climate change is changing ranges. Thankyou for asking. Probably all my concerns are there i just have to learn more.
As above.
