Bird ID
A lot of people probably already know this exists, but for those who don't, there's an awesome app that tells you what birds are around from their calls/songs. It's called "Merlin". You can also give it photos to ID. I usually leave it running in my pocket or hand while I walk around my local RSPB reserve.

It cannot be overstated how cool the audio ID function is. I would not have learned the difference between a red-tailed and red-shouldered hawk otherwise.
Never leave home without Merlin!
I use the Sound ID feature all the time! It's helped me to identify so many local birds that I hear all the time, but never see.
Same. Didn't know blackcaps were everywhere in the woods near me until I got Merlin.
I’ve recorded so many cool birds with Merlin! Everyone in my house is now able to recognize a Northern Cardinal.
