I've started using the Merlin bird app and that's got me into birds a bit more.

You can use the phone's mic to record the birdsong and the app will tell you what is about

    I use the whoBIRD app for this (GPL v3.0).

    It's fun to watch a Kite, or similar bird, fly past and then get an ID from its birdcall.

    I also use whobird, it works great but it doesn't have a nice catalogue of local birds and their sounds like merlin. But I refuse to use merlin since they force signing up to an online account with them

    This 100%. Find a particular aspect of nature you want to dig i to more, and them find an app that will helpyou identify it on the fly. Merlin is amazing, but there are lots of apps out there for all different topics!
