Re: Wildlife magazines

British Wildlife is a superb magazine aimed at the keeen amateur naturalist + professional ecologists- it is readable, yet scientifically robust with some humour thrown in. I particularly enjoy the taxa summaries- some such as birds, mammals, butterflies are covered in each, whereas Orthoptera every other issue.

Not every article is of interest to me, but I read most. In current issue is a fascinating piece on woodmulch fungi- many not previously recorded here, but now turning up in all sorts of places + some not in the raved about Phillips!

I also take BBC Wildlife, though target audience is more general, I still enjoy it. As well as numerous wildlife society mags, also get Atropos (Lepidoptera/Odonata), British Birds, Birding World + Birdwatch too. Trouble is finding time to read everything!

If I was restricted to just one mag though, it would be British Wildlife!
