Occurrences of Animalia Chordata Aves recorded by users of the Birda mobile app (https://birda.org). Species data use the IOC taxonomy (https://www.worldbirdnames.org/new/). Data imported into Birda from external sources (e.g. other birding apps) are excluded from this dataset to avoid the potential duplication of records that may have been previously published to the GBIF by another organisation. Occurrences deemed unreliable or suspicious are excluded from the dataset (see the section on quality control for further details).Sampling Description
Study Extent
WorldwideSampling
Field observation by users of the Birda mobile app.Quality Control
Occurrences that meet both of the following criteria are flagged as "unconfirmed" by Birda's automated sighting verification service and are excluded from the data submission until they have been manually verified by an expert in avian taxonomy: - the location of the occurrence falls outside of the distribution for that species as defined by Birdlife International - there are few recorded occurrences of the species in that locationMethod steps
- Users log a sighting or record a session (a collection of sightings) using the Birda mobile app.
