Watch the birdie

The Scottish Ornithologists’ Club have developed a free mobile app which allows enthusiasts to discover where to birdwatch in Scotland. This app gives directions to sites and details on the best times to visit. Users will be informed of the 550 species of birds likely to be seen and any other unusual or notable wildlife spectacles to look out for. Birdwatchers can also submit their bird findings to the app which in turn will work as valuable conservation data. The app is due to launch mid-March for both android and iOS.
