We have recently published the 63rd paper in the ejournal Ornithological Observations --- OO for short --- the URL for the journal is http://oo.adu.org.za --- there are three volumes, with the first in 2010. Each article is a separate pdf. The pages are in landscape format, so each page neatly fits a computer screen. A couple of articles have links to youtube videos; one shows a snake predating a nest (http://oo.adu.org.za/content.php?id=61) and the other shows Amur Falcons foraging like Whiskered Terns (http://oo.adu.org.za/content.php?id=43).
OO covers a broad range of "faunistic" observations --- diet, predation, nesting behaviour, annotated checklists (eg there is a comprehensive birdlist for Robben Island --- http://oo.adu.org.za/content.php?id=31) ... it has become the outlet of choice for reporting any interesting bird-related observation.
Although the geographic range is currently southern Africa, there is no reason why it is confined to this area --- the instructions on how to write a paper, with a template that helps get everything in the right format from the outset, are on the website (http://oo.adu.org.za).
OO contains some really fascinating birding reads.
