BirdPedy: Birding on Spain

Head out into nature, check recent sightings around you and log every species you find.

BirdPedy is the all-in-one birdwatching app for Spain. It brings together data from Observation.org, eBird, iNaturalist and MINKA to show you what is being seen around you, tells you where and when to find target species, and turns your life list into a collectible illustrated album completed out in the field.

Designed for beginners looking to identify what they just saw, as well as experienced birders searching for that elusive rarity.
