⭐ Be in with a chance to win an incredible OM-1 MKII camera and a M.Zuiko Digital ED 150-600mm F5.0-6.3 IS lens (worth $5,700)

During April, OM System challenges you to reveal wonder. All you need to do is discover and photograph 5 bird species. We encourage you to go beyond your comfort zone and experiment with new techniques or perspectives. Whether it's playing with light and shadows, exploring different angles, or capturing birds in motion, let your creativity soar. It doesn’t need to be ground-breaking, just fun-making! Best of all, you could be in with a chance to win an incredible OM-1 MKII camera and a M.Zuiko Digital ED 150-600mm F5.0-6.3 IS lens (worth $5,700)

OM System cameras are known for their ability to capture unseen glimpses of nature in the great outdoors. Now it’s your turn. Just go outside and turn your lens to the birds around you.

Don't worry if you're not an expert in bird photography; any bird photo counts, whether it's captured with high-end gear or your simple smartphone.

We almost forgot to mention, and this is important. You just need to complete the challenge to be added to the prize draw. It's not about being at the top of the leaderboard - although that does feel nice - it's about birds, fun and photos; in that order!

Head out, heads up and see how many different species you can photograph! This challenge is for tickable species only. You can read more about tickable species here.

This challenge is for anyone with a Birda account.

This challenge starts and ends based on the GMT time zone. All individual species logged globally will count towards this challenge and will be included in any leaderboard placement. All sightings must be logged before midnight on the day the challenge ends.

Be honest with yourself and other birders, but above all, respectful of them and any other outdoor users, everywhere – especially online. If you didn’t see it (or hear it), please don’t put it on Birda.

Easy to use and accurate
Love this app. It is easy to use and accurate, Their backup communication is really good. I noted a missing species. All through the process, I was kept informed about the progress in correcting the information. I now have the corrected, updated version. 😁 Thanks!

There is a very friendly feel to the community and you will genuinely learn a lot as you record your sightings and photos. There are lots of badges and competitions to keep you engaged, and a host of really useful features.

Great app for beginner twitchers
I’ve had a passion of photographing birds for a long time now but have only just gotten into proper birdwatching, and this app is brilliant for those just getting started. There is a great sense of community among users and the app is very easy to use and professional. Awesome app altogether

Terrific App for Birders
Downloaded Birda around the time my interest in birding was sparked, and it has been a terrific app to help me (1) share my experience, (2) document my sightings, and (3) learn more about birds in general. That said, I also believe Birda is a fantastic app for birders of all experience levels. Great community!

The best bird logging app
Birda is honestly the best bird logging app I have seen. I love all the features it has from being able to do a session and log all the birds you see in one sitting, to being able to connect with other birders from all over the globe!

Gets me outdoors more
I'm still loving this app. I use it most days & gets me outdoors more. Enjoying watching others progress and photo's, it's improved my wellbeing.... I love this app! I can keep a record of sightings and see what others have seen too.

Recommend for any bird watcher
Very wholesome app: I joined this app with a new interest in watching birds to help me find out what I was spotting. The community is very active in helping identify birds which is great and everyone is very kind so it’s just a nice wholesome community. I would definitely recommend this for any bird spotter 😃
