Stay One Step Ahead of the Flock
Built for birders by birders, the BirdAlertPRO app delivers real-time alerts on rare, scarce and locally interesting bird sightings across Britain and Ireland. Whether you’re in the field or planning your weekend birding, the app ensures you’re always in the know with immediate, GPS-based notifications tailored to your preferences.
With thousands of dedicated users and decades of experience behind it, RBA has long set the gold standard in bird news delivery. Now, this heritage of trusted reporting meets cutting-edge mobile functionality in an app designed to enhance your birding every day.
What’s New in the Latest Version?
This is more than just a facelift. The updated BirdAlertPRO is packed with features designed to make birding more efficient, more responsive, and more rewarding. Here are just some of the updates and new features we have added:
- Fully Customisable Filters: Choose which species you want to hear about, set rarity thresholds, define your regions of interest, and manage alerts by distance or location.
- Smart Mapping: See news plotted on an interactive, zoomable map with the option to switch to list view for quick scanning. Tap a pin to access full details, directions, and previous reports.
- Smooth, Modern Interface: Designed with the birder in mind, the app is intuitive and clutter-free. It works seamlessly on both Android and iOS devices.
- Headlines View: A brand-new Headlines feature lets you quickly scan the day's top birds and breaking news at a glance - perfect for catching up fast or spotting patterns in national movements.
- ‘Species Alert’ Mode: Set custom notifications for species you’re targeting - whether it’s a one-off rarity or a personal ‘bogey’ bird.
- Travel-Friendly Functionality: Heading to a new part of the country? You can create temporary alert filters for specific locations, ideal for holidays and twitching weekends.
- Distance Indicators: Each sighting includes the distance from your current location, helping you decide instantly whether it’s worth the trip.

- Sunrise and Sunset Times: Automatically displayed for each location, helping you time your visits for the best light and bird activity.
Birding, Your Way
No two birders are alike - and the updated BirdAlertPRO reflects that. Want to know only about megas within 50 miles of home? Set your filters. Planning a trip to Norfolk this weekend? Add a custom alert for that region. Interested in a single species, like White-winged Tern or Bee-eater? Track just those with pinpoint accuracy.
Wherever you go, whatever you seek, BirdAlertPRO becomes your personalised field assistant, alerting you only when it counts.
where to park and where to access the site from.
