A new smartphone is to herald a new dawn in recogising and identifying bird calls.

The Warblr app will use sophisticated audio recognition to identify which species of bird are singing during the morning chorus, using a system like the popular music recognition app Shazam.

Dan Stowell, a research fellow at Queen Mary University of London who developed the technology for the Warblr app, said he believed it it would recognise several birds singing at the same time.
