Inside the journal

A clean record of each sighting

Each entry holds the four details that matter. Over time the entries add up to a history you can sort by species or place and read as charts.

What Birdsy does

Made for birding in the field

Log a sighting
Add the species, the place, the date and how many birds you counted. The details are quick to fill in while you’re outdoors.
Life list
Every new species goes onto your life list automatically, so the list grows with each outing.
History by species
Open any bird and see every time you’ve recorded it: where, when and in what numbers.
History by place
Pick a spot you visit often and look back at everything you’ve seen there.
Charts and patterns
Charts show busy months, favourite places and how your counts change through the year.
Private by design
Your journal lives on your device. You don’t need to register and nothing is synced to a cloud.
Your notes, your device
