I use Birdsight AU on my iPhone. It's a little more cumbersome than using a
notebook and pen, especially in bright light, but it's great for making a
list at places you visit often. I also use the excellent Morecombe guide -
almost exclusively for the calls. It's so useful to have a set of calls
plus a field guide in your pocket. There was supposed to be an iPad version
of Morecombe but I'm not sure if it is out yet.
I'd be interested to see another Australian field guide in an iApp (and
Android) format. I'd certainly buy it if it had a different set of calls -
or perhaps some video clips of some of the difficult species and plumages.
I'd probably buy it even if it didn't have these - just out of curiosity.
