    ‘Chorus’ is designed for remote use. This means you do not need to remain with your device to discover visiting birds. Instead, you are notified via our free app.

    For example, if you wish to discover the birds behind the dawn chorus, you do not need to wake up then and instead can catch up at a convenient time for you.
