Birding World was a monthly birdingmagazine published in the United Kingdom. It was the magazine of the Bird Information Service, based at Cley next the Sea, Norfolk. With the publication of issue No. 26/12 in January 2014, Birding World magazine ceased publication.[1][2]
History and profile
Originally published in 1987[3] as Twitching volume 1, the magazine underwent a name-change to this name, in 1988 (also resetting its volume count back to 1).[2] The editor was Steve Gantlett, and the assistant editor Richard Millington.
It was aimed at birders with an interest in the occurrence and identification of rare birds in the United Kingdom and the Western Palearctic. It also covered birding-related material from around the globe.
The range of material published included:
papers on bird identification, often including proposed new identification characters for difficult groups of taxa
news articles on rare birds in Britain and elsewhere in the Western Palearctic
