Birding Log
Hobbyweight 1tracker · keeps what you put in
A goldcrest at the back fence on a Tuesday is a small event, but it's your small event, and it deserves writing down. The Birding Log keeps your sightings plainly — species, where, and the date — a life list that grows one honest line at a time.
This is not a screenshot. It's the real tool, running right here — go on, put something in it.

Questions people ask
What's a simple way to keep a bird sighting list?
Three things per sighting: the species, where you saw it, and when. That's how birders have done it for a century in notebooks; this is the same notebook, just harder to leave on a train.
Does the Birding Log work without internet in the field?
Yes. It's a single HTML file that runs in your browser, fully offline — hedgerows rarely have wifi. Nothing you record leaves the page, and there's no account to make.
Is this a bird identification app?
No — it identifies nothing and won't argue with you about warblers. It keeps the list of what you saw, where and when, and leaves the identifying to you and your field guide.
