British Birds is a monthly ornithology journal, founded in 1907. It is now published by BB 2000 Ltd, which is wholly owned by The British Birds Charitable Trust (registered charity number 1089422) [1] [2], 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.

Its mascot, and later logo, the Red Grouse was chosen because, at the time it was thought to be an endemic British species (it is now considered a sub-species of the Willow Grouse).

It publishes the findings of the British Birds Rarities Committee.

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 those issues were all pretty thin so it was possible to bind 19 into one volume.
