About this magazine
Bird Watching magazine is Britain's best-selling birdwatching magazine. With features and articles from some of the UK's best-known and most highly-respected nature writers and ornithologists, illustrated by the work of the world's best bird photographers, it provides inspiration to seek out, see and identify new birds, keeps readers up to date with the ever-changing natural world, and asks the important questions about the conservation issues of our time. It's your best birdwatching friend, whether you're an absolute beginner or a lifelong birder looking for new challenges.
In every issue of Bird Watching magazine, you will find:
- Features take an in-depth look at British bird species - how to find and identify them, and what they need to ensure they'll thrive.
- Your Birding Month - what birds to look for, where, and how, this month, from garden favourites to mega-rarities.
- ID Challenge - learn to identify bird species step by step.
- Go Birding - site guides to 10 varied and wildlife-rich UK locations.

From monthly subscriptions, to the latest digital issue, Bird Watching magazine is the perfect choice, either for yourself or as a gift for the wildlife-lover in your life - it's as vital to any birdwatcher as a pair of binoculars and a field guide.

Join the #my200birdyear community
Here at Bird Watching magazine we want to encourage as many people as possible to see more birds than ever, and our #My200BirdYear does just that! You don’t need any fancy equipment, although a pair of binoculars does help, you can do it by yourself, with a friend or with a total stranger! You can do it in England, Wales or deep in the Amazon rainforest. We’ll be providing help and advice in every issue of Bird Watching, there’s additional online content to steer you towards your target, and there’ll be regular Readers’ Days at which you can meet the BW team, get tips from them and reserve wardens, and add new species to your list at some of the UK’s best birding spots. We have a ready-made community on Facebook which you can join here and our sponsors will throw in competitions, discounts and expert advice to help you with your birding year.
It’s not a race, you may smash through your 200 goal or only do half - but the aim of your #My200BirdYear challenge is to do what you love to do most, birdwatching!
