I set it going and it tells me which birds are singing in my garden.
I have chaffinch, great tit, dunnock, jackdaw, wood pigeon, robin .... fascinating ...

Eurasian Wren,
Atlantic Puffin!!,
Rock Dove,
Common Raven,
Mallard,
Carrion Crow,
Eurasian Jay,
Collared Dove,
Common Woodpigeon
Goldcrest,
Common Raven,
House Sparrow,
Eurasian Blue Tit,
Great Tit,
Red Kite.

I love it too though it does get confused when my hens lay an egg. Merlin thinks they are Canada geese

I downloaded the Merlin bird ID app last week and I love it. I’ve spent the last few days at my son’s house and my grandchildren really enjoyed identifying the birdsong coming from the heavily wooded area behind their house.
