British Birds (magazine)

|
British Birds is a monthly ornithology journal, founded in 1907. It is now published by BB 2000 Ltd - a non-profit-making trust established for the benefit of British ornithology.
It is aimed at serious birdwatchers and ornithologists, rather than the more casual birdwatchers catered for by some other magazines on the subject.
Numbering
Before 1946, all volumes ran from June to May. Harry Witherby produced Vol.1 No.1 in June 1907 and produced 12 monthly issues per volume. It was finally decided to change with Volume 38 which ran from June 1944 to December 1945. Wartime paper restrictions meant that all the issues were pretty thin so it was possible to bind 19 into one volume without it being too thick.
