Description
Occurrences of Animalia Chordata Aves recorded by users of the Birda mobile app (https://birda.org). Species data use the IOC taxonomy (https://www.worldbirdnames.org/new/). Data imported into Birda from external sources (e.g. other birding apps) are excluded from this dataset to avoid the potential duplication of records that may have been previously published to the GBIF by another organisation. Occurrences deemed unreliable or suspicious are excluded from the dataset (see the section on quality control for further details).
Data Records
The data in this occurrence resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 5,450,642 records.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

| Study Extent | Worldwide |
|---|---|
| Quality Control | Occurrences that meet both of the following criteria are flagged as "unconfirmed" by Birda's automated sighting verification service and are excluded from the data submission until they have been manually verified by an expert in avian taxonomy: - the location of the occurrence falls outside of the distribution for that species as defined by Birdlife International - there are few recorded occurrences of the species in that location |
Method step description:
- Users log a sighting or record a session (a collection of sightings) using the Birda mobile app.
