British Birds is a monthly journal for all keen birdwatchers. We publish articles on a wide variety of topics, including behaviour, conservation, distribution, identification, status and taxonomy. Our contributors include both professional and amateur ornithologists, and content is always abreast of current ideas and thinking, yet written in a clear and simple style which is easy to interpret.

BB is regarded as THE journal of record in Britain, and we publish the annual reports of the Rarities Committee and the Rare Breeding Birds Panel.

We rely on YOU to help us keep up-to-date – see our Guidelines for contributors (features menu) for more details of what type of observations we might publish.

 The 2008 BBRC Annual Report will be published in October this year.
