Genius tip
Set an alarm: the best time of day to hear birdsong is during the dawn chorus, which runs from just before the sun rises each morning.
Birdsong is one of the great joys of the great outdoors, but it’s not always easy to work out what kind of bird is singing: while some birds’ voices are well known there’s almost infinite variety in birdsong and calls.
That’s where your iPhone can help. All you need to do is record the sound, and your birdsong app can tell you what you’re hearing and give you lots of interesting information about the bird.
