Bit annoyed that I just paid for this app and its so patchy. Just gone to similar species for Merlin and it has no picture for the female. And whilst it has male and female for many in similar species it lacks juveniles which are the hardest to discern of most birds. Requires improvement.

Really great for the price. The update to the third edition is now straightforward, and 99pence! The videos are massively useful and I now seem to have access to what was previously two tiers. Gull-like body shape issues have been fixed. Either lists have improved, or I now understand how to use them better. I'd still like to be able to match saved locations with sighting, or filter by location. I understand that this is probably tricky to implement though. Upgraded from 4 to 5 stars. Thanks!
