In this episode I welcome Tim Williams to the show. Tim is the developer of the Falconry Journal App that he describes as a digital replacement for the pen and paper journals that many falconers use to maintain records associated with keeping falconry birds.

After introducing himself Tim describes the app and highlights some of the features that are built into it.  He also tells us what motivated him to develop the app. and provides some rationale for why a falconer may want to use the app.

Tim then outlines use of the app to track data on multiple birds, and we discuss a feature that I like in particular - the ability of the app to forecast when a hawk will be at hunting weight. He explains why he believes this feature to be inherently important to successfully hunting a particular hawk, and we discuss the accuracy of the forecasting algorithm.

We conclude the episode discussing the data export function, the ways in which users have applied their data to managing their birds, and before telling us how to contact him, Tim outlines what he sees a potential future development for the app.
