NOW WITH OVER 100 BRITISH BIRDS
With wonderful pictures, sounds, quiz and checklist.
Whether you’re a bird lover or just plain curious, BirdsUK’s high quality images will let you identify over 100 of the most commonly seen birds in Britain.
It’s easy to find the bird you’re after and the information is where you want it exactly when you need it - which is when you’re out and about.
Now with double the number of birds, these great features remain:
Top quality photos of each bird, showing seasonal variations and the differences between males, females and young (as possible).
Two quizzes - a sound quiz and a picture quiz, making this a fun way to learn while you play.
Both song or call (as appropriate) for each bird. These can be accessed both from the main index page and the individual bird page.
Check boxes so you can mark a bird as seen.
A precis of key information about each bird, including facts and figures and where to find them.
A link from each bird to it’s Wkipedia page for more info.
Thanks for all the reviews praising the photography.
The companion apps, TreesUK and DogsBreedsUK are out as well.

[2013-06-29] A Google User: Disappointing Lame interface. Most importantly there's no search. |
|
[2013-06-22] A Google User: A better size Great app and a smaller file size now, thanks |
|
[2013-06-19] A Google User: I used this on my last phone and it was fab playing bird sound's and quite often got a response It's great, even had some birds look on as I played there call |
|
[2013-06-06] A Google User: Good list, poor user interface It is just a list of birds that can be scrolled through. It badly needs at least a basic search facility but preferably, a search based on the salient characteristics of birds eg wing span, body and wing colors etc |
|
[2013-03-30] A Google User: Birds UK Easy to use and for .69p you can't complain! Great app |
|
[2013-02-20] A Google User: informative and fun only just got into birdwatching, but this is a useful little tool when you're sat in your chair in-between sightings, listening to the sample calls. they're not all perfect recordings, especially as some birds have varying calls, and a bird book tends to be a lot more informative and accurate, but it's a decent starter for very little money, has interesting features and will occasionally illicit a call back from a bird. well, i say that, it might just be another bird laughing or cursing at my pitiful phone-based attempt at communication, but it keeps me happy. my only concern is that it takes up a lot of internal memory on my phone. oh, and it confuses the cat sometimes. |
|
[2012-11-30] A Google User: Memory card !! Very memory intensive so cannot load it to my phone ad won't save to memory card |
|
[2012-11-20] A Google User: Unable to move to SD card Nice little app but takes a HUGE amount of memory. Unable to move to SD card otherwise would have given it 5 stars |
|
[2012-11-16] A Google User: OK but Same problems with the quiz as others have reported. The app doesn't do anything to interactively identify birds but it's a fun way to learn a few new species. |
|
[2012-10-18] A Google User: Good value app with a fatal flaw The app itself is great with lots of good photos and sound recordings. Unfortunately all the media make it quite memory hungry and as the developer has chosen to enable copy protection it can't be transferred to SD card to free up space on the phone. Pity as I'd probably have given it five stars but this makes it mostly unavailable on my phone. |
|
[2012-10-14] A Google User: Average Not extensive enough, but not going to break the bank either |
|
[2012-10-10] A Google User: Happy to fund this development I have the same comments as Jem below. This app has a future and seems to be the best in its class, but needs more work. I hope our contributions will help the developer improve the app. |
|
[2012-10-07] A Google User: No move to sd card. As above can't move to sd card so got to loose a few stars. Sorry but how can I rate it highly if I can't keep it. Think I paid as well. |
|
[2012-09-07] A Google User: Nice cheap app I like it, great value for money with some great pics and sounds. I just wish it could be moved to an sd card as it's a big App. |
|
[2012-08-31] A Google User: This is good. It would be good to be able to enatge the photos but otherwise good & easy to use. |
|
[2012-08-30] A Google User: Fuzzy Images have probably been optimised for small screens and suffer on Google Nexus 7. Text likewise is a bit fuzzy. But worst are the graphics icons which look terrible. Any chance of improving these? |
|
[2012-07-31] A Google User: Good Very handy app, but sparrowhawk/juvenile should be called sparrowhawk/havingashit. |
|
[2012-07-29] A Google User: Can this be moved to sd card ? No way can I download it otherwise |
|
[2012-07-15] A Google User: Good but too much memory It takes 83Mb and cannot be moved to SD. Otherwise a fine app. |
|
[2012-07-08] A Google User: Good value, but needs work There's a real shortage of good UK twitchers' apps so I hope the developer will keep at it. Resolution needs improving for HD devices, some images are rotated, quiz frequently triggers the wrong button, and rotating the device to identify a rotated image switches to a different bird. Well worth the 59p, but it has the makings of best in class with some work. |
|
[2012-06-17] A Google User: BirdUK failed to install I have tried to install on Samsung galaxy Ace and Samsung galaxy S2 and both times would not install. Installed Birds Of Britain instead. |
|
[2012-06-16] A Google User: Birdsuk Great app for the beginner twitcher |
|
[2012-05-28] A Google User: lost the sound love this app but have lost the bird song. any ideas? |
|
[2012-05-19] A Google User: Amazing Value I love birds but no nuffink. Great pix and comprehensive details and a box to tick if you see a particular bird. The first bird to land on my lawn I couldn't find but assumed sparrow but sparrow is not on the index although Tree Sparrow is. Maybe that's its proper name. Anyway, it wasn't a Tree Sparrow. A must have for cats that would like a varied menu to consider. |
|
[2012-05-19] A Google User: Love app but too big! Having to delete this due to space taken up, can't move it to sd card on Xperia ray. Pity as I love it. |
|
[2012-05-14] A Google User: cant move to SD card I'm sure this is a very good app, but I cant load it on my Samsung GT S5830 as 80meg + cant be move to the SD card, Please fix guys |
|
[2012-05-10] A Google User: Basic This looks like work in progress. The index and gallery are not user freindly and I would question some of the content. |
|
[2012-05-04] A Google User: Andrew A great app - and full marks to the developer's excellent support when I had problems moving to SD Card (Solved!) |
|
[2012-04-09] A Google User: Simple but useful app Easy to use. Nice images. Shame the sound quality on some of the birds is a little bit rough. Hope it gets more updates. |
|
[2012-04-04] A Google User: Super app and great customer support Great little app - managed to identify some birds from the recordings of their calls. Customer support also brilliant: developer replied in 5 minutes and fixed my problem with moving the app to my sd card. |
|
[2012-04-02] A Google User: Great presentation but no search! Clearly set out. Good text. Great pictures at full screen. Lots of sound samples... but NO SEARCH! Instead a useless quiz. A great resource is being wasted here. |
|
[2012-04-01] A Google User: Nice app Shame it doesn't fill the screen on my 7" galaxy tab |
|
[2012-04-01] A Google User: Ticks my box, brilliant photos Big congrats to the developer. A very satisfying app for amateur bird watchers. It's greatness is in it's intuitive design. You can be a muppet and still use it logically. As simple as turning pages in a book, the way software should be. I've given it 5 stars despite its minor imperfections; sometimes slow, sound difficult to hear at times. But BirdsUK makes up for it in its blinding clarity and excellent photos. A pleasure to use. |
|
[2012-03-24] A Google User: Almost 5 stars Excellent, but should be able to move to SD card. |
|
[2012-03-18] A Google User: dont move to SD 80 meg and can NOT move to SD card on samsung galaxy S2. Far too big for an app that dont let you move it to SD card. Nice app but have to uninstall until it can be move to card. So only 3 stars until then. |
|
[2012-03-17] A Google User: BirdsUK Quite good. Info useful. Some of the calls slightly distorted. |
|
[2012-03-08] A Google User: BIRDS UK Came across this lovely app whilst just browsing the Market. What a delight especially as it includes all the birds I see regularly in my garden. Lots of information included too. Without a doubt, it is a 'must have' app. John S, Ellon. |
|
[2012-03-07] A Google User: BirdsUK Quiz Great app. Would like different levels of quiz difficulty, eg bird choices all from same family or similar looking. |
|
[2012-03-06] A Google User: Good Ace |
|
[2012-02-19] A Google User: BirdUK failed to install Thanks to the developer I have now installed (see below) this app which I think is very good. Image quality is particular good. I've given it 5 stars, 4 for the app and 1 for the developer whom was very quick to respond to my email with a solution. "The BirdsUK as been incompatible with my Samsung Galaxy Ace. Last week noticed that it was now compatible and so I made the purchase. BirdsUk failed to install. A great disappointment as I have a simular app on my Ipod Touch which is very useful." |
|
[2012-02-18] A Google User: The developer was very helpful, and it is now on my SD card. Great app. |
|
[2012-02-15] A Google User: Birds Ok Very nice app for curious armchair twichers like me, should have deserved 5 stars, a simple index ie waders, sea pond ect.. would make identifying easier and quicker than long A to Z, still for 59 p who can moan for such a fun educational useful tool. No Angry Birds here! |
|
[2012-02-15] A Google User: Good start but requires updating Nice app, does what it says on the tin. poor usability and doesn't fit on large screen devices. |
|
[2012-02-04] A Google User: Doesn't work Sound doesn't work on Sony Ericsson arc. :-( |
|
[2012-02-03] A Google User: Very well done I am looking forward to using this when I visit the UK to see my son. It would be nice if it was possible to move the rather large app to the SD card. |
|
[2012-01-26] A Google User: Great app Good app for novice seeking to learn to id UK birds. Hope more birds will be added later. Sounds are so clean my cat was fooled. Only one minor niggle - difficult to select quiz answers even with my small fingers! |
|
[2012-01-13] A Google User: Birds fixed Happy that device compatible app now resolved. Good to see further content. Works great on SGS |
|
[2012-01-11] A Google User: UK BIRDS installed onto SD card BIRDSUK now downloaded and installed onto the SD card. Wonderful application with so much information to access when away from an internet connection, computer or books. Missing out on a few species, does not stop it getting 5stars. It could do with the ability to link our own pictures and notes, even to the extent of adding own entries. I appreciate we could and should suggest to the developer which items to add but it is still a superb app. The identification quiz is very addictive and thereby informative. |
|
[2012-01-03] A Google User: Good App Had a problem with image quality when I updated, sent email to developer and got a solution very quickly. Impressed with Developer and app. Would love ability to make a note on species page. Location and date for example. Works well on my Asus transformer. |
|
[2011-12-31] A Google User: Birdsuk Excellent app, I had a problem updating it on my galaxy tab but after emailing the author had a fix by return. Exceptional service Mike |
|
[2011-12-23] A Google User: Wonderful! Has opened a whole new world for me. Beautiful images, easy to use. Good work! |
|
[2011-12-22] A Google User: In terms of what it is reasonable to expect from a smartphone, this is a fabulous resource to have in your pocket. |
|
[2011-12-16] A Google User: Will not uninstall |
|
[2011-12-12] A Google User: Good work! Keep the updates coming! |
|
[2011-12-12] A Google User: Need more birds |
|
[2011-12-08] A Google User: Great App. Developer has been very helpful trying to install on Motorola Defy, but Google Market still insists it's not compatible. Installed and ran great prior to upgrading to gingerbread, now can't upgrade. Seems to be Google problem not developer. Great app. love it. Worth paying for. [edit] Think is has something to do with CM7 ROM. |
|
[2011-12-06] A Google User: Too big Great app but the massive 83mb update wouldn't install even with 90+MB free. Finally got it on but can't move large app to SD cos of copy protection |
|
[2011-12-01] A Google User: It's great, even had some birds look on as I played there call |
|
[2011-11-16] A Google User: Birds UK Great app. I had a problem updating but developer was very helpful. |
|
[2011-11-14] A Google User: Should be an option to tweet - lol. |
|
[2011-11-13] A Google User: Birds UK Thanks for the update, an app I'm pleased to have and worth paying for, especially when we get updates. |
|
[2011-11-13] A Google User: I like this app but the recent update took it to 83mb!! That's ridiculous! Compress whatever is so huge and sort this out please! |
|
[2011-09-12] A Google User: Nice app, mostly good recordings. However most recent update revives move to SD problem. Uninstalled |
|
[2011-08-02] A Google User: Nice pics and quite educational.overerall a well presented app. Well worth the small fee. |
|
[2011-07-25] A Google User: Too few species and no search facility. |
|
[2011-07-23] A Google User: Value for money A very good app but the database is limited to 50 species. I'd gladly pay more for a more comprehensive guide. |
|
[2011-07-11] A Google User: Garden birds is good. It would be nice to extend this to waders as they are so difficult to identify. |
|
[2011-07-07] A Google User: Great App ! This is a great app, my only criticism is that it could have more species - but hopefully it will be updated as and when the developer has the chance. This is a really useful app and I especially like the quiz on bird calls - what better way to improve your ability in recognising them when out and about, even most birders I know are pretty poor at recognising calls - so maybe I can get a step ahead of them ! If you've any interest in ornithology, ecology, zoology then this is a great app and at £0.59 !!!! |
|
[2011-06-26] A Google User: Nice app, but I was hoping to be able to search by colour, shape, etc. |
|
[2011-06-05] A Google User: Had this on my iphone its not bad |
|
[2011-06-05] A Google User: A good ap but wish it had more UK birds, with more higher quality recordings, more hunting birds like phesants, partridge, owles etc. |
|
[2011-06-05] Jason: Had this on my iphone its not bad |
|
[2011-06-05] GordyUK: A good ap but wish it had more UK birds, with more higher quality recordings, more hunting birds like phesants, partridge, owles etc. |
|
[2011-06-02] Dan: The best app Ive seen for birds in the uk. Its actually got 50 birds and several pictures of each bird. Male, female, juvenile. Zte blade |
|
[2011-06-01] A Google User: The best app I have bought. Willingly pay for updates/additions. Its nice to recognise birds I have looked at all my life. |
|
[2011-06-01] A Google User: Even at 59p it's overpriced. Hardly useful at all. Only 50 birds featured. Only one photo of each. An app that could identify a bird from it's song - now that would be useful. |
|
[2011-06-01] Alan: The best app I have bought. Willingly pay for updates/additions. Its nice to recognise birds I have looked at all my life. |

[2011-06-01] Richard: Even at 59p it's overpriced. Hardly useful at all. Only 50 birds featured. Only one photo of each. An app that could identify a bird from it's song - now that would be useful. |
|
[2011-05-29] A Google User: Would be an amazing app if it had more than 20 birds!! Update badly needed. Clean UI, works well, great quality app. |

[2011-05-18] A Google User: As others have said SD card compatible and more birds esp. non garden birds. Good info and easy to use |

[2011-05-13] A Google User: More birds would be better - perhaps a pro-version field-guide ? |
|
[2011-05-13] Steven: More birds would be better - perhaps a pro-version field-guide ? |
|
[2011-05-02] A Google User: Excellent. I especially like the quiz. Would be nice if the songs were a little longer but I'm guessing that's a space issue. |
|
[2011-04-09] A Google User: Great app! One or two recordings have too much background noise, but the most annoying problem is occasional force close on Wildfire (Android 2.2). |
|
[2011-04-09] A Google User: Think this is a excellent app but it is 10mbs and it doesn't install to SD so be very wary if ur on an HTC des it is quite a space eater, but great. |
|
[2011-04-09] Andy: Great app! One or two recordings have too much background noise, but the most annoying problem is occasional force close on Wildfire (Android 2.2). |

[2011-04-03] A Google User: Great app, love the audio birdsong. A little buggy, will not always display photos when required. But generally good value for money. |

[2011-04-03] Katy: Great app, love the audio birdsong. A little buggy, will not always display photos when required. But generally good value for money. |
|
[2011-04-01] A Google User: Nice app. Well worth buying.Only four stars because there are only fifty birds, with an update this would be fantastic. |

[2011-03-28] A Google User: Quality app for price- great pics & calls with lots of extra info. However, it needs more birds to be a proper field guide. Nearly, but not quite... |
