Would you recommend Albuferia?
We are moving to Armaco de Pera tomorrow. Coming your way?

I m intrigued by the bird spotting app.

Could I ask you to elaborate a bit. I m useless with birds (so the wife thinks) but love a bit of geek time.

We haven’t been to Albufera yet, but are thinking of moving down the cost in that direction on Tuesday.

I use the Collins Bird Guide and we have the Europe version. It allows you to enter things like size, plumage, bill etc. in a search. It also gives the bird’s song and geographic distribution. There is a written description too with aspects to help with identification. Think it was quite expensive for an app.

The birds are grouped in to things likes waders, raptors, gulls and so on. I also like the ability to maintain multiple lists of the birds you have seen.

Wow that makes sound a real nerd, though to be honest it has always interested me. Not something I admitted very often in my punk rock days!

I think you, or someone else, has mentioned this before.

I need to get my geek into this bird identification thing.

If it flaps it's wings it's not a bird if prey is our knowledge

It’s definitely something you can get geeky about. I take my binoculars everywhere!
