Bird Sighting App
Posted: Wed Oct 28, 2015 10:37 am
I've been looking for a good bird sighting app for ages and I think I've finally found one I like...BirdLasser. 
It is free to download from Apple and Android stores. I have it on my android tablet and on my IPhone and when you make changes on one device it automatically updates the other one.
You create trip cards for each outing and each lifer is automatically added to your lifelist. 
What is it all about?
BirdLasser is fun for Birders and good for birds. For both beginners and twitchers, BirdLasser is a fun way to record your sightings and share with friends, your community and contribute to conservation.
Plot your sightings with GPS precision, instantly update your lifelist and share it with friends. At the same time give SABAP2, Southern Africa’s bird-atlas authority, a better picture of what’s happening to our bird and wild life. We call it social conservation! So, while you have fun spotting and plotting birds you automatically play a part in helping the thing you love. Double win!
Share with the community
Share that special sighting with your fellow birders in real-time via email, Facebook or Twitter, or post a trip report.
Your passion for birds and birding has the additional benefit to contribute to a greater good. BirdLasser makes it possible for you to share your sighting details with conservationists and academia such as the Southern African Bird Atlas Project 2.

with a lot of menus like
Taxinomic Index, Alphabetic Index
Gallery View, Smart Search, My location, Language (Ensglish, Afrokaans, Scientific) My list, etc...
