Here are some of the app’s features Add details like count, sex, age, activities, habitat, breeding and behaviour. Observations are time-stamped and geo-referenced. Opt to share your confidential sightings data with conservation organisations and causes such as BirdLife South Africa’s Threatened Species cause and the Percy FitzPatrick Institute of African Ornithology’s Martial Eagles of the Kruger National Park cause. Keep lifelists for all time, the whole world, or calendar years for specific countries or places of interest.
