History and profile

Originally published in 1987[3] as Twitching volume 1, the magazine underwent a name-change to this name, in 1988 (also resetting its volume count back to 1).[2] The editor was Steve Gantlett, and the assistant editor Richard Millington.

It was aimed at birders with an interest in the occurrence and identification of rare birds in the United Kingdom and the Western Palearctic. It also covered birding-related material from around the globe.

The range of material published included:

  • papers on bird identification, often including proposed new identification characters for difficult groups of taxa
