Your birding journey, all in one place.
Every identification, sighting and session in one record you actually want to look back on.
Track your life list
Log sightings the moment you make them. Birdist keeps your species count, streaks and milestones up to date automatically.
Join the flock
Share sightings, comment on other birders' finds and see what's being seen right now in the patch nearest you.
Everything Birdist does in the field.
1
Identify birds via photo, sound, or a few taps
Snap a photo, record a call, or answer simple questions about size, colour, and behaviour when you can't get a clear shot.
2
Spot birds near you, in real time
Recent nearby sightings and eBird hotspots on an interactive map — know exactly where to go for the species you're chasing.
3
You're always the final call, not the AI
Swipe through top candidates and compare look-alikes side by side. If the first guess feels off, you decide.
4
Watch your life list build itself
Every confirmed sighting is saved automatically with photo, date, and location — as a grid or a sortable list.
5
Know the conservation story behind every bird
IUCN Red List status is built into every species profile, so you understand which sightings really matter.
6
Turn birding into a habit you keep coming back to
Unlock badges, build streaks, and grow your flock — with a climate-impact counter for your collective difference.
A field guide that travels with you.
Range maps, seasonal charts and conservation status for the species around you — and the ones you're still chasing.

Community
Our community will keep you inspired.
The feed runs from garden regulars to the birds most people never see. Post yours, get kudos on your lifers, and find out what's turning up nearby.
Easy identification help
Not sure what you saw? Log it as unidentified and the community will offer suggestions alongside the AI match.
Learn from local birders
The nearby feed shows sightings logged around you — new spots, new species, and birders worth following.
Conservation
Every sighting you log is a data point for conservation.
Bird populations are one of the clearest indicators of habitat and climate change. Birdist shares its sightings data with open biodiversity databases, so the birds you record help researchers understand where species are moving and why.
Birds aren't all we care about. We care about you.
