Birds of Europe - Field Guide

Professional field guide and bird identifier for 515 European bird species – from the Atlantic Ocean to the Urals, and from the Arctic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea.

- BIRD IDENTIFIER

The app includes a built-in multi-criteria Bird Identifier (Identification Filter) that helps identify an unknown bird using 24 different features. You can select the region of Europe, the bird’s size, plumage colour, streaking, the shape and colour of the beak and feet, distinctive external features, behaviour, habitats, perching posture, song and calls, daily activity, nest size, shape, construction material and location, as well as egg size and colour. The Identifier helps narrow down the possible species.

- COVERAGE

The app covers most of Europe and can be used across most of Northern, Western, Central, Southern and Eastern Europe, including Scandinavia, the Baltic States, France, Spain, the Balkans, Transcaucasia, Northern Kazakhstan and neighbouring regions.

- EUROPEAN LANGUAGES

The app is available in 20 European languages, including English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Greek and others. Users can choose whichever language they prefer.

- BIRD SONGS AND CALLS

For each of the 515 bird species, the app provides one combined recording, including male song and several typical calls, such as alarm, aggressive, contact and flight calls. Each recording can be played in four different ways: 1) once, 2) on a continuous loop, 3) on a loop with a 10-second interval, or 4) on a loop with a 20-second interval.

- PHOTOS AND DESCRIPTIONS

For each species, the app includes several photos of birds in the wild, including male, female, juvenile and birds in flight, as well as distribution maps and eggs. It also provides a written description covering appearance, behaviour, breeding and feeding habits, distribution and migration.

- IN-APP PURCHASES

The app’s main features are free. For each species, you can view images and text descriptions and add species to Favourites; these features are also available offline. You can also listen to sound recordings when you have an internet connection, no more than once per minute.
