Having such fun with merlin app ..

It's amazing, thank you for telling us about it. I had to stop feeding the birds because of rats and this reminds me that they're all still nearby.

We use it too and love it.

I’ve been using Merlin on my walks it’s so interesting to see so many different birds pop up I’m not sure an Oystercatcher was correct though. I’m not sure if I should add to my life list if I don’t actually see the bird only hearing it. What do you do?

I love Merlin too.

I used it while walking in Arne, an RSPB reserve. So many unusual names came up. I only wish it could make them sit still long enough for me to get a glimpse!

Love Merlin !

I love it too and use it often

I used Merlin in my son’s garden in Hants. Within about fifteen minutes it registered thirteen birds including a white egret!

I was using the Merlin app in the park while walking my dog. My dog trod on something and squealed out……apparently she was a duck and a pretty rare one!

I love it too though it does get confused when my hens lay an egg. Merlin thinks they are Canada geese

That's funny!

I downloaded the Merlin bird ID app last week and I love it. I’ve spent the last few days at my son’s house and my grandchildren really enjoyed identifying the birdsong coming from the heavily wooded area behind their house.

A great habitat it would seem!

I'm using Smart Bird ID and loving it, both at home and with my dog when out strolling.
