Bird Guide Britain is a reference guide:
• High quality photos for each bird, showing a selection of male, female, juvenile, alternate plumage, flight image and nest
• For many birds, an annotated photo shows key features, to help distinguish similar species
• Recordings of both song and calls
• 'Here and Now' feature shows birds in your part of the country and this time of year*
• Search by name, scientific name, part of name
• Sort alphabetically by name or second name, by taxonomic group, or by length
• Make a shortlist of favourite birds for fast access
• Specially written text on appearance, status in Britain, habitat, diet, nest, lifespan and more
• European distribution map for each bird

Bird Guide Britain is a bird identifier:
• Use the 'Bird Finder' for fast identification of unknown birds
• Enter details such as size, colour, bill length and other features, date, habitat and location to select a shortlist
• Results are presented not as a text list (as in other apps) but as a display of photos so that you can quickly spot the best match
Our photo based system makes this the fastest bird identifier in any app!

Bird Guide Britain is a record keeper:
• Automatically note the date, time and location (including OS Grid Ref) of each bird sighting
• Make your own notes on each bird
• Store records of all your sightings, sort by name, location or date
• View records on a map
• Export your sightings as an Excel file
• Simple to use email back-up to save your data
• Facebook integration so you can tell your friends when you spot a bird
The built-in simple-to-use email backup not only ensures that you don't lose your data, but even allows you to transfer the data to another device, so you won't lose your details even if you buy a new phone!
