ABC Birds of Africa App
“An incredible resource that transforms birding in Africa.”
This free and easy-to-use field guide app is also an aid to conservation.
The app now includes text, maps, photos and sounds for more than 2,600 species on the checklists of 57 countries and territories of the ABC region (shaded on the map).
We are expanding the app and in time it will cover all the birds and territories of the ABC region.
The app has been endorsed by BirdLife South Africa and Nature Kenya.
