My husband is thinking of getting an iPad mini for remote control photography, and in view of the upcoming merger of Eremaea and eBird, I was thinking I could take it when I was out birding to enter lists on. It doesn’t seem that lists can be done that way directly to eBird, and BirdLog was suggested as being the one to use. I had a look in the Archives and noted that a few people use it already but wondered if there were any more up to date comments, and also how good the world version is as opposed to regional ones? And how well does it work to do lists in the field? Any thoughts will be appreciated, and may well have be of wider interest.

Hi everyone, Thank you to everyone who responded whether on or off birding-aus. I still don’t know what choice to make partly because no-one seems to have used BirdLog’s world list, which if it wasn’t too cumbersome would be ideal, but partly because the new iPad mini and Pizzey & Knight is still being tested, but two different testers have both indicated that they are impressed as far as they have had time to test.

Hi Sonja The new Pizzey & Knight app has the facility to compile multiple lists. Better still, it allows you to backup all your lists to iCloud, or export them – as well as IMPORTING lists in CSV format. I’ve been playing with a beta version for less than a day, but will post a review to Birding-Aus as soon as I can. So far the app has far exceeded my expectations. It is a REAL app, in that it behaves and works like the best apps, allowing you to get to data in multiple ways, and it utilises features like Location Services to great advantage. Anyway, more about PK Birds when I’ve explored it more fully. I think it will be available through the App Store in a matter of days.

Sonja, Mat Gilfedder is the chap to contact regarding BirdLog, hopefully he will get this post and fill you on the details.

Here is a link to the developers website: http://www.stevenscreek.com/birdwatchersdiary.htm I found a bug a few months back and they were very quick to respond and fix it.

Hi again Sonja, I should have said that I use the app on my iPhone, but it should work equally well on an iPad Mini. *Neil* On Tuesday, 12 November 2013, Sandra & Neil Shelley wrote: =============================== To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send the message: unsubscribe (in the body of the message, with no Subject line) http://birding-aus.org ===============================
Hi Sonja, I use the Birdwatchers Diary app, which can upload directly to eBird (which is what I always do). There are lists for most countries, plus you can easily create your own. For example, I have one with ~50 species in it that I use when I am monitoring the Hooded Plovers on the Mornington Peninsula. Some of the features I like include: it’s name, record each breeding pair of Hoodies separately), “standard” phrases, which you can tap on to include (eg. nest, chicks, etc). I can provided examples of the files it creates if you like. *Neil Shelley* On Tuesday, 12 November 2013, Sonja Ross wrote: =============================== To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send the message: unsubscribe (in the body of the message, with no Subject line) http://birding-aus.org ===============================
Thanks. We travel a bit overseas which is why I was wondering about the world version. Have you tried that?

There is an Australian and New Zealand version now. I have been using it as I have now switched my entry of sightings to eBird. Its very easy to use. http://www.birdseyebirding.com/index.php/2012-09-27-00-35-10/birdlog-australia-new-zealand =============================== To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send the message: unsubscribe (in the body of the message, with no Subject line) http://birding-aus.org ===============================

Hi Bruce, Thanks for that. I just wonder if having a world list would be more cumbersome and therefore slower to use?????

Hi Sonja, When I was in the USA last month, the local birders were using “BirdLog NA for iOS, version 1.7.1” and “BirdLog World for iOS, version 1.7” for entering bird lists in the field using iPhones and then exporting directly to eBird. Presumably NA is North America and the world version is the one to get?
