Birds Around Me (BAM), Percevia Smart Search and Time of Day now available as in app purchases. Compatible with iPhone X.
iBird UK Lite Guide to Birds is the perfect field guide app to learn to identify birds of the United Kingdom and Ireland. It’s a free 40 bird demo of our advanced iBird United Kingdom and Ireland Pro app which has the full 343 common and rare species designated by the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO). iBird UK Lite now offers two powerful features found only in our high-end iBird apps: Birds Around Me (BAM) and Percevia™ smart search. Smart search lets you identify birds just like the experts while BAM only shows species that are found in your GPS area.

In 2008 iBird broke new ground as it turned the iPhone into a field guide that identifies birds and plays their songs. Featured in Apple’s television commercials, it started a revolution that made iBird the most respected birding app in the world. iBird is now completely updated with new species for 2017 and includes exciting new features.
Whether you are an experienced birder or a beginner, iBird UK Lite is the best way to get started with iBird’s unique technology such as the Percevia™ smart search and Birds Around Me features

What the Expert's Say
"If you’re looking for the most expansive digital key, the encyclopedia-like iBird excels. It has the most sophisticated algorithm, incorporates live location, shows search results in real time (with a slide show option) and has the most fine-grained advanced key choices."
-The Quest for a Bird Identification Key by Diana Doyle in ABA BIRDING magazine, March/April 2014 issue

What’s New
Version 10.06
This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.
Besides compatibility with the iPhone X, this new version of iBird UK Lite has Time of Day, Birds Around Me (BAM) and Percevia smart search features.
In our continuing effort to improve our illustrations and photos we have updated the following species drawings with much improved composite illustrations: Barred Warbler, Dartford Warbler and Golden Oriole. You can see these in a matched list by selecting Search->Illustration Update->10.0.
Time of Day Search
The new Time of Day search feature lets you filter birds by activity intervals. The version in iBird UK Lite is a sample of the full version found in the paid iBird UK and Ireland Pro app. The intervals are during day or night (Cathemeral), dawn and dusk (Crepuscular), during the day (Diurnal) or during the night (Nocturnal). Time of Day Notes which provide additional information about a species behavior are found on each species from a new Time of Day menu. The Time of Day feature is particularly useful for birders who are interested in night birding.
Abundance
Now you can search on the Abundance attribute which includes: Accidental, Casual, Common, Rare and Uncommon status.
