I tried it out today. First, it identified plants and trees directly through the phone camera. Then, I took some bird images with the R5, enlarged them in the viewfinder, put the iPhone looking through the viewfinder and Seek identified the birds. Thanks HenryL!I've installed it. Tried it out on a couple of images and it's spot on!
Edit: Thank You Alan!!
Majestic!On 29 May I posted some photos of Peregrine Falcon chicks on a cliff ledge and here is one more, followed by some from this afternoon. They take 5 to 6 weeks to fledge plus a couple of months of teaching by the parents to hunt. More fun to come. But, my how they have grown in 2 1/2 weeks.

If you look for some Swedish birds don't forget to add "Sweden" in the search...I simply thought these two were "Pigeons" or "Doves" then I checked Wikipedia and was a bit overwhelmed

Interesting! I have to try this but I'm really skeptic about identifying really difficult birds by this app - by many reasons!I tried it out today.

Definitely not on grass or bugs!But, my how they have grown in 2 1/2 weeks.
I certainly don’t expect it to identify precisely difficult examples or bad photos. But, it’s a great entry point for newcomers. I remember well the hours I spent when I first started looking through books and websites trying to find out what I had seen. When it can’t identify the sub-species, it does give the class of bird so you have a starting point. What I am now using it for is wild flowers and trees As I do know all the local birds.Interesting!

There is nothing better than a good book/article and careful (and long...) reading!
Beautiful shot, Click. How can you tell it's a "green" one? (just curious)Green heron
