Fink — Birdwatching App

About

Somewhere right now a rare bird turns up. Someone spots it, a pin appears on the map, and for a few hours that place matters. Until now those moments disappeared into notebooks, WhatsApp groups and chat histories. With fink they become visible. fink is the app for birdwatching and bird photography: a live map of the bird world, your personal atlas and a community of birders and photographers. Built on Helgoland, one of the most important migration sites in Europe. fink is a subscription app. Every account gets the whole app for 30 days, no subscription needed. After that you decide whether to continue with Standard or Pro. THE LIVING MAP See which birds are around you right now. Every sighting appears on the map the moment someone logs it. Log your own outside, in seconds. WAIT, WHAT WAS THAT? One photo or a few answers about size, colour and behaviour, and FinkDetector names the most likely species. Bird identification without a field guide. YOUR ATLAS Every species you have ever seen stays in your atlas: species, photo, place, date. You see which of Europe's 900-plus bird species you are still missing. And whatever you logged in other apps before comes along in one go. YOUR GLOBE Everything you have ever seen, as pins on your own globe. Year by year, trip by trip. THE BIRD WIKI More than 900 European bird species: field marks, habitat, voice, eggs, and how common the species is where you are, month by month. Plus around 10,000 species from all over the world for your travels. FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS Your best photos sit in the wiki with their species. Several times a year there is a photo contest with a jury, a community final and prizes, with photo challenges in between. THE COMMUNITY Follow other birders, confirm sightings near you, join guilds and take on challenges together. Feed, chats and a notification when something rare turns up near you. ARE YOU A GOOD BIRDER? Your statistics show where you stand: compared with friends, your guild and your region, which birds you missed and when you are most active. With fink Pro. PROTECTED Locations of rare and threatened species are blurred automatically. You can blur your own sightings yourself at any time. WHY FINK Birding is popular, but the digital tools for it still feel like 2010. fink does not change the hobby, it makes what you already do easier and better. And many individual sightings add up to a dataset that supports research and conservation. By the way: in Halunder, the language of Helgoland, fink simply means bird. No ads. We do not sell your data. SUBSCRIPTION Every account gets 30 days of full access; after that a subscription is required.
