Birdata

Birdata serves as a crucial tool for both volunteers and researchers, introduced as a website in 2005 and now revitalized into a practical and user-friendly app. It aims to streamline data entry regarding bird surveys conducted in the field using mobile devices. Beyond data submission, Birdata enables you to access essential reporting statistics. This app not only facilitates easier data submission but also enhances the efficiency and accuracy of bird data collection.

Enhanced Monitoring Capability

With Birdata, the integration of structured monitoring surveys directly feeds into the State of Australia’s Birds report series. These reports are invaluable resources for tracking the status of Australia’s bird populations, guiding decision-making in land management and conservation policy. The app provides you with the ability to contribute to significant scientific research and conservation efforts by simplifying the process of data entry for field surveys.

Flexible Data Entry Options

While Birdata is designed primarily for structured monitoring, it also offers flexibility for casual birding enthusiasts. You can create and store birding trip lists that are collected over larger areas, even if they do not adhere to strict scientific data standards. To differentiate these lists, simply label them as 'Bird List' in the 'Survey type' field within the app's interface.

Efficient Use in Conservation Efforts

Whether you are a volunteer, researcher, or birding enthusiast, Birdata offers a straightforward and effective platform for data collection and management. Its utility in contributing to the State of Australia’s Birds report underlines its importance in conservation. By using Birdata, you support informed decision-making and strategic planning that benefits Australia’s bird populations and biodiversity.
