Whether you're meandering on a nature walk, nestled in a bird hide, or simply observing your home bird feeder, you can seamlessly record multiple bird sightings in succession by following these steps.
For a deeper understanding of sessions, have a look at our 'What is a session' article. If you want more details about logging individual sightings, refer to 'Log a sighting'.
To log a birding session:
Open the Birda app and press the large + icon
Tap the 'Begin Birding' button to begin a birding session
Then tap 'Begin Birding Session' when you are ready to start your session
Log each bird sighting as you go.
Don't forget that you can use your voice to add the species' name to the search field if you like.
Review the session when you have finished your birding session:
Give your session a name
Add photos to your sightings as well as pics of yourself and others out birding
Write notes about the session
Edit any of the individual sightings if needed
Next you can either tap on 'Post Session' to post the session or 'Save as draft' if you want to make a few edits and add photos at a later stage before you post the session.
