What an interesting thread to read. I have bought both on and off but have subscribed to Birdwatching for a number of years now.
Not too sure about Birdwatch but Birdwatching does periodically ask its readers what their current thoughts are and do act accordingly.
Interestingly if any of you are involved in a bird club, Dave Cromack (Editor) gives an excellant presentation on the evoloution of a magazine. He came to the Nar Valley Ornithological Society several months back and the feedback from membership was superb.
I agree the magazine lacks technical content but it fills a niche. There is British Birds as a stepping stone, or as El Annie pointed out the BTO.
Recent Sightings is the best you will get in print. Keep up the good work EMAP!

OK, my four-penny-worth coming up (no idea what that is in Euros [isn't that a statue in Piccadilly {London}?]). I used to subscribe to both Birdwatch & Birdwatching, but when work & I parted company, they regrettably had to go, as did British Birds and Birding World. I've recently moved to Norfolk, and re-subscribed to the latter two, as I feel they are essential for in-depth information and complement each other. I bought a copy of Bird Watching recently, but felt it was only so-so - no complaint about the mag, it just didn't meet my current needs. I've not yet had a chance to investigate BirdWatch, which I recall I used to prefer 'back in the old days'. I'm also wondering about subscribing to 'Dutch Birding', which I believe has had good press in the past (anyone here subscribe, and if so could they let me know their opinions? TIA).

Hi JohnJ,
Not sure whether Annie saw this one and I only came across it by accident, but the link is Birds of Britain online magazine
It carries some good articles, though not on a par with Birdforum of course

Birds of Britain may not look like much..... but it drives a lot of traffic my way (including some work), not in the Fatbirder league but obviously popular.

I buy Birdwatcher, find it better value than Birdwatch.
Yes the current price rise is too much, but ALL mags are near the same price so yet again "Ripped off Britain"
they do tend to print the same or similar old stuff and i know the adds help pay for it but they are getting more pages slowly and I think the price should come down to a realistic £2. (duck, wait for it)
it dosent need to be printed on top quality paper, just give us a good mag at a good price.
there are subscription only mags about but are far too much for me to pay out, I like to pick mine up at Tesco's the day it's out. sort of pilgrimage.

Osprey,
If Colin says he's got 600+, then why not....
What makes you disbelieve.....
In your humble opinion what would be a believable list size.
Mine currently stands at 20 (oops 21 a blue tit just landed on the feeder), they are in the list of 800 odd birds below which have been recorded in Britain, would 600 not be possible?
BOU lists A-E
A Species which have been recorded in an apparently natural state at least once since 1 January 1950.
B Species which were recorded in an apparently natural state at least once up to 31 December 1949, but have not been recorded subsequently.
C Species that, although originally introduced by man, either deliberately or accidentally, have established breeding populations derived from introduced stock, that maintain themselves without necessary recourse to further introduction.
C1 Naturalised introductions Species that have occurred only as a result of introduction. E.g. Egyptian Goose Alopochen aegyptiacus.
C2 Naturalised establishments Species with established populations as a result of introduction by Man, but which also occur in an apparently natural state. E.g. Canada Goose Branta canadensis.
C3 Naturalised re-establishments Species with populations successfully re-established by Man in areas of former occurrence. E.g. Red Kite Milvus milvus.
C4 Naturalised feral species Domesticated species with populations established in the wild. E.g. Rock Dove Columba livia.
C5 Vagrant naturalised species Species from established naturalised populations abroad. E.g. some/all Ruddy Shelducks Tadorna ferruginea occuring in Britain.
D Species that would otherwise appear in Categories A or B except that there is reasonable doubt that they have ever occurred in a natural state. Category D species are included within the lists that follow. They do not form any part of the species totals, and are not regarded as members of the British List.
E Species that have been recorded as introductions, transportees or escapees from captivity, and whose breeding populations (if any) are thought not to be self sustaining. Category E species form no part of the British List.

If Colin says he's got 600+, then why not....
What makes you disbelieve.....
In your humble opinion what would be a believable list size.
Mine currently stands at 20 (oops 21 a blue tit just landed on the feeder), they are in the list of 800 odd birds below which have been recorded in Britain, would 600 not be possible?
BOU lists A-E
A Species which have been recorded in an apparently natural state at least once since 1 January 1950.
B Species which were recorded in an apparently natural state at least once up to 31 December 1949, but have not been recorded subsequently.
C Species that, although originally introduced by man, either deliberately or accidentally, have established breeding populations derived from introduced stock, that maintain themselves without necessary recourse to further introduction.
C1 Naturalised introductions Species that have occurred only as a result of introduction. E.g. Egyptian Goose Alopochen aegyptiacus.
C2 Naturalised establishments Species with established populations as a result of introduction by Man, but which also occur in an apparently natural state. E.g. Canada Goose Branta canadensis.
C3 Naturalised re-establishments Species with populations successfully re-established by Man in areas of former occurrence. E.g. Red Kite Milvus milvus.
C4 Naturalised feral species Domesticated species with populations established in the wild. E.g. Rock Dove Columba livia.
C5 Vagrant naturalised species Species from established naturalised populations abroad. E.g. some/all Ruddy Shelducks Tadorna ferruginea occuring in Britain.
D Species that would otherwise appear in Categories A or B except that there is reasonable doubt that they have ever occurred in a natural state. Category D species are included within the lists that follow. They do not form any part of the species totals, and are not regarded as members of the British List.
E Species that have been recorded as introductions, transportees or escapees from captivity, and whose breeding populations (if any) are thought not to be self sustaining. Category E species form no part of the British List.

Just to shove in my 2 penneth - The magazines cater for different markets. I'd like to think I'm a Birdwatch or British Birds level reader, but I'm more a Birdwatching type of birder. While articles about 'How to use Binoculars' in BW annoy me, the sightings pages are great, and generally everything is at my 'level' (ie beginner-intermediate with a smattering of twitcher).
Also - Birdwatch looks shocking these days. It used be a nicely designed mag, but has seriously gone down hill (I'm a designer and these things matter to me!)

You might know that Monkeyman is a graphics designer. So what do you two reckon has gone wrong, from the design point of view? Assuming you agree, of course.........

Peter,
No I didn't know that - I am newbie around here. I'd be interested to know what he thinks too.
Generally, Birdwatch looks clumsy, cramped, bad use of fonts, and quite monochrome. I think Birdwatching looks brighter, cleaner, subtle use of colour to seperate areas on the page without over-using it. Birdwatch used to have quite a classy feel, you felt like you were holding a quality magazine, but not anymore. I know its content that matters (especially the excellent articles on digiscoping )- its only pedantic designers like me who get irratated!
Having said that, good design should help you read a magazine without noticing it...

I couldn't agree more. Birdwatching just seems to have the balance right. It LOOKS right. Rather like the Daily Mail. Regardless of what you think of the content, the design is attractive. Having said that, the Birdwatching content is pretty good, too.
