The Collins Bird Guide App combines world-class illustrations and comprehensive information with intuitive design to create the ultimate field guide for passionate birders and casual birdwatchers alike. The app is based on the landmark book by Lars Svensson, Killian Mullarney and Dan Zetterström, universally acknowledged as the standard European field guide. This definitive work has been reimagined for iPad and iPhone by birders for birders.

The Collins Bird Guide App provides everything you need to identify a species quickly and learn about it thoroughly. Immerse yourself in the exceptional illustrations, maps, calls and concise text. Use the powerful search filter and curated confusion lists to focus in on a species. The Collins Bird Guide App is an essential companion always to hand on your iPhone, and available to browse in full glory on your iPad.

User Reviews

Of the 26 birding apps I have this is one of the best. It’s the most comprehensive and easy to use guide for Europe. The overview lets me home in on the bird group. Then it gets progressively more detailed. The species descriptions are good for field identification, the selection of audio recordings is excellent, the comparison with similar species handy and the range maps very informative. The illustrations are excellent with sufficient coverage of plumage by sex, age and morphs although thorough treatment is beyond the purpose of this field guide. The app works equally well on my iPhone and iPad. Thank you for such an excellent guide.
