Birds Illustrated is both entertaining and educational – and visually eclipses most other bird magazines – both in terms of the outstanding images and their superb presentation on high quality paper. Take a look at the features we've published recently:

Species profiles, written by experts, on Hen Harriers, Penduline Tits, European warblers, Dippers, Bitterns and White-tailed Eagles.

UK birding hotspots, brought to life by birdwatchers who really love them – the backwaters of Norfolk and the Scottish Highlands, the Peak District, Lancashire’s wetlands, Cornwall in autumn, Rum, Eigg, Canna and Muck, plus many more.

World class birding sites – top authors explain their love affairs with places as diverse at Madagascar, East Africa, Gibraltar, mainland Greece, the Falkland islands, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and many more wonderful places.

The best of bird art – no other magazine does more to celebrate the amazing artistic talent we have in Britain with profiles on Chris Rose, Robert Gillmor, Andrew Haslen, John Busby, James McCallum, Darren Rees, Terance James Bond, Darren Woodhead and Michael Demain among many others. Overseas artists featured include Lars Jonsson, Carl Brenders and Barry Van Dusen.

For book-lovers, Birds Illustrated carries a unique feature called Between The Covers in which dealers Tom Lawson, Tim Oldham and Neil Gartshore examine the merits of various bird books and give guidance on buying them secondhand.

Classic Images says it all – in every issue there is an array of the finest photographs taken by top lensmen from around the world. The pictures are chosen for their aesthetic appeal or because they are recording unusual action.
