QR Codes

Do you use QR Codes?

A QR Code is a specific matrix barcode (or two-dimensional code), readable by dedicated QR barcode readers and camera phones. The code consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on a white background. The information encoded can be text, URL or other data.

QR Code for the URL of 
the Yorkshire Dales Bird Guides 
main page. Note that the white 
border is part of the encoding.


















Yorkshire Dales Bird Guides now have a QR Code that links directly to our websites main web page. If you have a smart phone try scanning the above QR Code.

I use an iPhone (other smart phone are available). For scanning QR Codes I recommend the following apps.
Google Goggles as part of the Google Mobile App
or
