Birdata

Originally developed in 2005, the Birdata website provided an online platform for

volunteers and researchers to enter bird survey data and gain feedback about

their surveys. This major revamp of Birdata has allowed us to offer this critical

conservation tool in the form of a handy, easy-to-use app.

The Birdata mobile app is intended to facilitate simple data entry in the field on

mobile devices and provides basic reporting statistics.

Visit the Birdata web portal (http://birdata.birdlife.org.au) for extended reporting and data management functionality.

Analysis of structured monitoring surveys in Birdata feeds directly into the State

of Australia’s Birds report series. These reports are the go-to guide on the status

of Australia’s bird populations, designed to inform decision making on land

management, and direct conservation and policy that affects Australia’s birds

and biodiversity.

Can you use it for Birding lists? Yes. Birdata is primarily a tool for structured

monitoring, however you can use Birdata to enter and store birding trip lists

(e.g. bird lists which are collected over expanded areas without conforming to

scientific standards). Please ensure that data such as this is coded as “Bird List”

in the “Survey type” field on the details page.
