With Spring here, many birds are chirping around Kendal.
A smartphone app from Cornell University's Ornithology Lab is free and fun.
Merlin Bird ID, as it's called, is available free on both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.
You can identify birds by description, by picture, or even by sound.
It's particularly fun to record a bird, or birds, then have the app identify which
bird or birds it hears. Then you can play back the calls of that particular bird.
Thanks to Joe Bruno for sending this link.
