A lot of people probably already know this exists, but for those who don’t, there’s an awesome app that tells you what birds are around from their calls/songs. It’s called “Merlin”. You can also give it photos to ID. I usually leave it running in my pocket or hand while I walk around my local RSPB reserve.

    I use the Sound ID feature all the time! It’s helped me to identify so many local birds that I hear all the time, but never see.

      Same. Didn’t know blackcaps were everywhere in the woods near me until I got Merlin.
