Fw: Birding apps for the UK and Europe

Thanks to everyone who responded.

I’ve gone for the Collins app (it turns out my old UK Field Guide is also Collins).

I’m about to move to England for two years so they should both get a work out,

Birding apps for the UK and Europe

Spotted Whistling Ducks reported at Cardwell

Rohan Clarke has relayed a report from Ruth Reef of a “big flock” of SWD at the Edmund Kennedy Wetlands. At this rate of range extension, we may have SPD in SEQ in a decade or two

Back in the late 80s my wife and I worked as volunteers at Healesville Sanctuary – a native animal zoo outside of Melbourne.
