App Description

Almost 10,000 species of birds are currently known worldwide. Approximately 380 of these species have been observed in Switzerland alone, these are regarded as "natural wild birds". Several of these are to be regarded as vagrants that have been sighted very rarely or only once and, therefore, have not been included in this app. However, the app still features more than 350 bird species and the data of these species is available OFFLINE in this app!
