Description

"The app is self-evidently the equal of Restall et al. as an Id tool, the in-built vocalisations are arguably worth the purchase price alone." - Neotrop. Birding Magazine

*** Planning to go bird watching in Ecuador? Then this is the app for you. This app fills a gap in the region and is the only app available for Ecuador! It is based on renowned reference work of the Helm Guide Series "Birds of Northern South America" by Robin Restall, Clemencia Rodner, and Miguel Lentino. The creation of apps from the book is a co-production between Bloomsbury Plc and Sunbird Images. The app contains 5,000 illustrations and more than 3,000 bird songs and calls in total.

>> Neotropical Birding Magazine writes:

*** "Condensing Restall’s two-volume work into an app, while remaining usable, is no mean feat - and Sunbird Images deserve recognition
 for successfully doing so. Navigation is admirably straightforward." ***

*** "Two nice touches are displaying the sonogram in ‘real time’ with the vocalisation, and a ‘loop’ facility to make playback more manageable." ***

*** "The app is self-evidently the equal of Restall et al. as an identification tool, and a smartphone is so much more portable than a field guide. Moreover, the in-built vocalisations are arguably worth the purchase price alone..." ***


This app is part of the Sunbird Images BLUE LABEL series. Our BLUE LABEL series are top notch digital field guides which provide the most comprehensive data available for a region or taxon.

Ecuador is a prime birding spot and a country of extremes. It covers altitudes between coastal regions up to heights of more than 6,000 m and habitats that include coasts with beaches, Desert Woodland and Arid Scrub, Páramo, Temperate as well as Subtropical Montane Forest (Cloud Forest/ Elfin Woodland), the Amazon Rainforest in particular, Swamps and Mangroves. Ecuador has the largest biodiversity per square kilometre in the world, with an unlimited number of possibilities for birding.

Choose between 6 bird name languages:
English, Latin, Spanish, French, Dutch, German

Narrow species down by foot colour, bill shape, tail length etc. leading to the bird searched for plus a choice of similar species. You can also look for fragments of a species name – the search for “finch“ shows all the species which include the word “finch“ in the species’ name.

***A graphically well-designed layout – easy to use with large lettering.***

"All Birds Ecuador" is very well suited for keeping personalised bird watch lists.

The app will be continuously developed further. All updates are free of charge. Once downloaded no internet connection needed – just download the app and start birding!

Some lovely features

As someone who likes to know what birds I'm seeing but am not a dedicated bird watcher I love this app. The available books are all too heavy and expensive for the use I would make of them so this fits the bill perfectly.

It is simple to use and pretty intuitive. The "Compare" feature is excellent and allows the user to compare illustrations, maps and calls of up to 16 birds on the iPad.

I haven't used the record sighting button yet but again it looks very straightforward. I'm currently using the app to get an idea of what birds I can expect on my planned trip to Ecuador and the maps are very general (covering the whole of the North of South America and not just Ecuador) and I have to go through each bird in turn - a feature where you could group birds by habitat would be very useful for this purpose.

Developer Response ,

Dear User, thank you so much for your thorough review. Here is something a lot of users have suggested which will be implemented in our next update:

We have included altitudes for each species, very useful especially for hummingbirds!

Well laid out & comprehensive

This is a well laid out, easy to use and comprehensive App. Artwork is variable but the inclusion of calls and maps is very useful. It isn’t immediately obvious what taxonomy is used, so requires some cross referencing with certain lists. The species comparison feature is very handy and it’s nice to have the same format for neighbouring countries available. I reckon this will be a useful tool for Ecuadorian birding.

Excellent guide covering birding hotspot Ecuador

Excellent bird app for Ecuador, one of the most biodiverse countries in the world. Not a substitute for a field guide, but fantastic to have all this information in your pocket. Recordings alone worth the price. Comparison feature also very useful, especially to see differences between similar species.
