This App supports 5-minute point counts, with records for species seen, heard, or both seen and heard. Audio recordings can be done at the same time and processed through BirdNet, so that the visual & audio records made by observer can be compared with those made by BirdNet.
There is also a Photo-based part of the App for adding locations of species sightings to photos from the site.
The App therefore enables both scientific 5-minute point counts to be conducted at designated locations, as well as providing public engagement through the photo-based component
