Birds of Western Palearctic
Description (
Characters: 1511 of 4000
)
Birds of the Western Palearctic – BWP – is the definitive reference for everyone with a serious interest in birding and ornithology. Fifteen years ago we published all 11 printed volumes on DVD-ROM. Now we have fully overhauled this renowned BWPi for iOS and macOS. We have refreshed the design, breathed new life into the plates, added a comprehensive video library, integrated unique breeding birds content and updated taxonomy with new species and splits. Comprehensive coverage of every species that regularly occurs in the region, with sections on Field Characters, Habitat, Breeding, Distribution, Population, Movements, Social Pattern and Behaviour, Voice, Food, Plumages, Moults, Measurements and Geographical Variation. The app covers every species known to have occurred within the region, and we will be updating the app as new species occur (latest is Horned Puffin!). BWP integrates with Collins Bird Guide app so that you can switch between the two seamlessly. • 1,056 species covered • 5,473 illustrations • 1,066 songs and calls • 916 videos • 643 distribution maps • 10,176 photos of breeding stages • 1,557 line drawings showing behaviour • 288 life cycle diagrams • 2,446 tables • 37,690 references • 5,250,000 words of text! • Species names are translated into 25 languages The distribution and population data have not been updated since BWP was originally published, and some species have changed significantly since then. Compare species is available on iPad only.}

Dommage que l’anglais soit la seule langue de cette application, trop peu souvent mise à jour. Bons points pour la taxonomie !

Bug reported over 5 months ago and allegedly fixed and awaiting release. Since then no reply to e-mails, no fix, nothing. Other apps claim supported by BWP (eg Life List) but they aren't, presumably needing an update that never happens. Suspect abandoned. Shame as it has lots of great info and potential.

Absolutely brilliant to have this essential resource on the Mac. Fifth star will be awarded when I can increase the font size!! Update - it is a menu option for the main text! CMD and "=". Awarding the fifth star now and assuming this feature will be added to the species list :)

I find this app and « guide ornitho » very good. I score four stars and not five for just one reason : the app is not localized. I would love to get this app in French because even if I’m not so bad in English, the vocabulary employed is very technical which is a very good thing but hard to understand for non native. You already translated the common names of the birds and I’m very grateful for that. We can also search in the database using foreign languages. Very helpful. So... when for descriptions? 😂😂 So... please translate this wonderful app for other European languages, please please please ! 😀 Keep up the good work!

It's nice to finally have the text of the BWP available on the go. Bravo! The new illustrations are very good. BUT: Where are the spectrograms that made the books so unique? In combination with the small and sometimes odd selection of sound recordings in sometimes very poor quality (and questionable ID), the app is a great disappointment. The videos of ducks from captivity with clipped wings are disgusting. If there are no videos of wild arctic ducks!? I really hope that future updates will make the app worth the lush price.

Some really unhelpful reviews here. Great to have this back on my Macbook had the original DVD rom Breeding info and pictures are great being someone with a dedicated interest in the breeding habits of birds. Really recommend this - outstanding

A very light edition of BWP here, not the BWPi that was used to give all the BWP volumes and theConcise Edition too, with songs and videos. Here it is a shorter version and that needs more stability too (screen regularly frozen on ios14) quite disappointed for this prize !
