Lifer - Bird ID & Birding

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.
