*** This app describes in detail all the 513 bird species which have been recorded in Scotland, with 1,834 premium photographs and more than 892 bird songs. You can map birds with GPS, make your own lists and browse the species in 5 search modes ***

This exceptional app includes all species which have been listed by the British Ornithologists' Union Records Committee (BOURC). It has been developed by passionate field ornithologists and published ecologists.

A simple identification key narrows the species down (e.g. by foot colour, bill shape, length of tail etc.) leading to the bird searched for and a choice of similar species. You can also look for fragments of a species name through a search screen – the search for “finch“, for example, shows all the species which include the word „finch“ in the species’ name.

Despite the abundance of species provided: in order to precisely identify a bird no previous knowledge or ornithological expert skills are required.

Of decisive help here are the qualitatively high-class large-scale images which show all bird species in their natural environment and, amongst others, originate from renowned photographers of the wildlife agency SUNBIRD IMAGES. The pictures have been chosen from thousands in order to allow the most reliable identification of the birds. The choice of photos is essential for identification: Bird pictures which only show the bird from front, which is the case for many of the sloppily developed apps on the market today, are of little use for birders.

This app provides extensive texts and data for each bird species with information to:

Description, ecology, population size, frequency, habitat and much more. In this respect, the texts for this app have especially been written for Scotland. This, amongst others, holds for population size, abundance, breeding status, local distribution (down to subspecies level), status of protection as well as migration.
