FW: Warblr: an app that recognises birds from their song

I have just visited the Warblr web site and watched the video. The project is kosher (one of the founders has been given a 5 year Fellowship by Queen Mary University of London for the project). Warblr is designed to recognise calls AND songs. So far the system can recognise some 80 spp. It is a brilliant project and I recommend that birders help financially even $5-10 would help. The project may sound a bit pie in the sky, but how many of you would have imagined being able to have multiple field guides in a device the size of an iPhone 15-20 years ago?
