IN THIS ISSUE

With August comes the onset of autumn migration and the latest issue of Birdwatch looks closely at an attractive and desirable rarity for which this month is prime time to see one in the UK. Once fairly numerous each year, Aquatic Warbler is no longer an easy bird to connect with on these shores, so Shaun Robson’s expert tips on how to find and identify your own come in very handy.
With return wader migration moving towards its peak, the RSPB’s Frampton Marsh reserve is profiled in the August issue. Warden Toby Collett looks at the history and origins of the reserve, its management and the spectacular results it continues to produce in terms of breeding, migrant and vagrant shorebirds, as well as many other birds.
Matt Phelps delves into the fascinating world of bird reintroductions, exploring the reasons behind these and arguing why, in many cases, they should be seen as a positive conservation tool and not scorned upon by birders.

How much do you know about birds’ skulls? Amy Schwartz introduces the anatomy of birds’ heads and bills, and takes a closer look at some of the extraordinary adaptations that have evolved across various families, from waders to herons and from finches to birds of prey.

After inheriting a collection of bird books, the personal nature of some of them set David Callahan on his own journey of reflection and wonder. In this issue, he ponders what our individual birding legacies will be and how these may be used for the greater good.

Meanwhile, the World Land Trust introduces its new conservation project in Armenia, a devout patchbirder celebrates reaching a significant milestone and regulars Alan Tilmouth and Lucy McRobert discuss topical issues, while there’s also a review of a new lightweight binocular from Opticron and plenty more besides.

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
