Lifer - Bird ID & Birding

About

Lifer turns birding into a daily collecting game. Identify birds by sound or camera, catch them as beautiful species cards, build your Aviary, grow your Life List, and turn every walk into a birding adventure. ■ Catch Birds By Sound Or Camera - Hear something nearby? Audio Catch listens for birds and brings animated birds onto the screen for you to catch. - See a bird instead? Camera Catch uses Lifer AI to help identify birds from photos. - Audio Catch runs on-device, so you can keep detecting even when you are offline. ■ Collect Species Cards - Every catch becomes a collectible bird card with points based on rarity and catch quality. - Each card is stamped with the real-world biome where it was found, such as woodland, wetland, coast, countryside, or urban. - Chase Rare and Legendary birds, Prismwing cards, streaks, Bird of the Day, milestones, and a growing collection of every species you have seen. ■ Explore Nests - Discover over 4,000 parks, reserves, National Trust sites, RSPB reserves, and other birding locations across the UK and Europe. - Contribute catches to each Nest’s shared record of species, sightings, photos, and first discoveries. - Explore local leaderboards and compete to become the rolling Nest Guardian. - Search for nearby Nests, follow their activity, and celebrate founding and Guardian stories through the social feed. - Your exact catch coordinates remain private. ■ Endorsed for GBIF - Every qualified catch is sent to GBIF - the world’s largest open-access biodiversity database. - Help birds and science! ■ Bird With Friends - Join Birding Parties to catch birds together as a group. - Follow other birders, react to catches, celebrate milestones, and climb the rankings. - Create private Flocks for family, friends, bird clubs, or local groups, with shared Life Lists, feeds, and leaderboards. ■ Track Your Birding Life - Map your catches, grow UK county coverage, and track countries across Europe. - Start Bird Walks to record your route, distance, and species count. - Import exported sightings from other birding apps into your Life List. - Get a personal Year In Birds recap with species, streaks, rare finds, distance walked, and favourite moments. ■ Daily Quizzes - Take on four daily quizzes to improve your birding knowledge and earn points. - Personal Sound Quiz: Identify birds using your own field recordings. - Birdsong Quiz: Learn bird calls and songs using licensed species recordings. - Rare Bird ID: Identify a rare bird using only its image. - Field Clue: Identify the bird using four clues. - Build quiz streaks, test your knowledge, and climb the quiz leaderboard. ■ Built For Birders In The UK, Europe & USA - UK county coverage - Europe country tracking - Full US state support - Rarity tiers and regional filtering - Sensitive species location protection Whether you are learning birds by sound, building a Life List, comparing catches with friends, or turning everyday walks into a collecting game, Lifer gives your birding life a place to grow.
