■ All ears - Breeding in small numbers across Britain and Ireland, as well as being secretive and almost entirely nocturnal, Long-eared Owl can be challenging to catch up with. David Campbell takes an in-depth look at the species’ fascinating history.
■ Seeing is believing - How is it that a large group of birders can all manage to misidentify the same bird? Why do some people have an uncanny ability to find rarities? Julian Hough delves into the psychology of birding to answer these and more questions.
■ What is that? Lockdowns allowed people across the globe to reconnect with wildlife, but it also revealed a worrying level of misunderstanding about the natural world. Lucy McRobert discusses the lack of knowledge among the general public and what can be done to educate people.
■ Gone but not forgotten - There is an intriguing number of species on the British list that once occurred here but haven’t been recorded in decades, some of which are still found on the near Continent. Dominic Mitchell considers reasons for this, and wonders if some of them might make it back here one day.
■ Field ID notes - With Tufted Duck and Common Pochard on the move in March, it can be a good time to sift through flocks for rarer species, especially following a what’s been a great winter for Lesser Scaup and Ring-necked Duck. Andy Stoddart provides all the information you need to locate and identify your own.

Plus: more thought-provoking comment from columnists Lucy McRobert and Dominic Mitchell, the team at BirdGuides provides round-ups of January’s birding highlights from Britain, Ireland and the wider Western Palearctic, news, views and reviews, advice on building your birding skills and knowledge and our expert panel answers your questions.

Best in class

One of the best magazines on this topic Reviewed 25 April 2022

Excellent quality

Great with regard as companion to the television programmes Reviewed 19 April 2022

Birdwatch Magazine

I look forward to each issue, love reading it. Reviewed 18 June 2020

Brilliant.... But!

This magazine app is excellent apart from a few teething problems the 'pocket mag' group appear to be having. The content & additional videos are worth it alone however, downloading & reopening the magazine on my ipad2 has been a problem... It has froze & failed to download on two separate occasions. An email to pocketmag quickly resolved the issue. A future 5star set up im sure once these minor issues have been resolved fully.... Reviewed 18 January 2013
