Quick Bird Counter

Read full description

Counting birds can be challenging - especially at places where several species of migrating birds rest during their journey. Traditionally racks of click counters (tally counters) are used to track them. Quick Bird Counter simulates those racks: tap on the photo of the respective bird to tally that species. Features: • Counting is organised in sessions. • Create and manage a pool of birds to choose from for each session. Optionally add remarks and select the photo for each of the species. • Start a new counting session by selecting the birds for counting. A default name which can be changed later and the start time are set automatically. • The photos of the selected birds are presented as a grid - tap on the respective photo to tally. • Edit the session info: change the session name, edit the location, provide remarks. • You have to confirm the end of a session: manually via menu, or before selecting a new list of birds. The end time is automatically set on closing a session. • View the session history. • Delete selected sessions from the history. • Sharing options: • a list of the available species • a summary of the current session • the current session data in JSON format
