Sighting log

A bird sighting log you'll still value in ten years

Years from now, you'll want to remember more than the species name. A good sighting log keeps the date, place, photos and notes that turn a record into a memory.

Quick answer

A bird sighting log records each encounter with a bird: species, date, time, location, how many birds, what they were doing, and any photos or notes. Recorded consistently, that log becomes your life list, your birding map and your journal.

Fewest possible taps

  • Camera-first entry designed for use outdoors
  • Date, time and place captured for you, and editable
  • Count, habitat, behaviour and notes when you want them
  • One save updates your life list, map, trip, photos and journal

Everything stays connected

Each sighting keeps its photos, its place and its notes. Open a species and you see your whole history with it: first seen, last seen, every encounter in order.

Sensitive places stay protected

Locations can be exact, approximate or private, and exact coordinates are never exposed publicly by default.

Common questions

What should I record when I see a bird?

Species, date, place, number of birds and behaviour, plus a photo and a short note about anything unusual.

Can I edit a sighting later?

Yes. Records can be corrected as your identification improves.
