Welsh_red 4,633 Posted May 8, 2023 Report Share Posted May 8, 2023 People on the meateater podcast have been raving about it . You hold your phone out with the app open and recording and it will tell you every bird noise around you and identify each bird . If theirs more than one bird it will list them all and when they are making their noise the bird flashes yellow . Good app for those of us that don't know everything 8 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Welsh_red 4,633 Posted May 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2023 I think it would be a good tool especially for kids . Technology has its downfalls but sometimes its pretty amazing . Especially considering its free . 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In recent years, I've done very little, and to say I'm a little rusty is an understatement. This app will come in handy, and as you say, great for the kids, cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bell 3,591 Posted May 11, 2023 Report Share Posted May 11, 2023 I’m a little addicted to it now, in the garden have had everything from blackcap, white throat and curlew flying over…..pretty accurate and picked up Tree Sparrow as opposed to House Sparrow……sat out at lunchtime with it and stomach rumbled and up popped ‘Rock Pigeon’ !! …..whatever that is !…..have tried to fool it wit rubbish cuckoo impressions but not having it.
