The checklists are ready to use as soon as they are imported into Bird Journal Complete Edition.

Lee G R Evans - Bird Journal Review

“It is very easy to use and self-explanatory and allows one to methodically record each and every species of bird, mammal, butterfly, insect of flower that one has seen - hugely impressive.” - Lee G R Evans

 “Even if your birdwatching is strictly of the casual, stroll-in-the-country-and-take-some-bins type, there’s a lot of additional pleasure to be gained from keeping a decent record of what you see.”
