I've lost count of the amount of times we have been out on a walk and have heard a bird singing but can't see it. I can pick out the common species - blackbird, robin, chiffchaff but otherwise I'm at a bit of a loss to identify them. I knew there was an app out there that you could record the call and it would give you an ID so today, for my
30 Days Wild act, I decided to check it out, and while I was at it a whole host of other nature and wildlife apps.
Here are the ones I went with - the links are for iTunes just because I have an iPhone but I think most of them are also on Android, and because a list of links looks a little boring I have of course added one of my relevant photos!
Bee Count -
Friends of The Earth's Great British Bee Count - ID and log sightings between May and June.
BirdSongID - £3.99, record the bird and the Automatic Recognition identifies it.
BirdTrack - This is from the
BTO and allows you to log your sightings and see what others have seen.
Stellarium - £2.99 Point your phone at the sky and identify the constellations, stars and planets.
And of course I already have the
30 Days Wild app! Please let me know of any nature apps you wouldn't be without.
