Today was one of the best birding days out I’ve ever had. Highlights were: - A woodchat shrike perched on top of a bush!! - A hoopoe in flight - Two black-winged stilts - Whimbrels!!!! - Spoonbills in flight and standing - Turnstones - An avocet chick!!! In March??!! - A white stork flying in and landing - Cattle egret - Kentish plovers!! - Beautiful red-rumped swallows swooping over the water - Yellow wagtail In other words, it was just highlight after highlight, and lifer after lifer❤️ So exciting, I can’t believe it.

As a young birdwatcher who was always keen to be apart of a community but never seemed to find one, my problem was solved downloading this!!! Everyone is so friendly and just as excited to see birds as me 😁

Fantastic App

This is a really lovely app, for everyone interested in birds - from newbies to old hands. 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.

Work together with community

Been loving using this app to log my bird sightings and work together with community members to identify different birds. I've already learned a lot since I started about a month ago!

Clean and easy to use

Really enjoying this app, it's clean and easy to use. I love the ease of being able to add those one-off birds without starting a whole checklist. I also like the social aspect, like the parts of my Facebook I like, without the ads and junk, just birds. Can't wait to see it become more populated.
