Been trying to get to know my shorebirds and this simple app makes it so easy. Shows breeding and non breeding plumage. Simple interface. Easy to use. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Fantastic App

*2015-06-13*

What an excellent app. As a enviro teacher this app is an absolute treasure. It engages students with its excellent design, great information and fantastic pictures. Students (& myself!) loved identifying birds at our local lake with a set of iPads and this app. Thank you!!

### 4/5 — Really good

*2014-05-30*

A great addition specifically on waterbirds.

Two of the included species are odd: 

Wandering Whistling-duck (hyper-rare) instead of Plumed Whistling-duck (not included at all, which are regular in Northern Victoria each year), and

Black-necked Stork - what the...?

### 5/5 — Beautiful app

*2014-05-19*

I love the simplicity of this beautiful app: clear illustrations with arrows pointing to diagnostic features, stunning image,s and mutiple calls for each species. These combined make identification a breeze. A very useful tool!
