About the October issue of The Bird Observer
From the Editorial Committee
Our October issue focuses very much on Bird Week, which this year is concentrating on Raptors. To celebrate we are making all pages of the magazine downloadable as individual PDF files.
The Committee thanks all those who have taken the trouble to write very complimentary letters and emails regarding the standard of our magazine. We welcome the support and see The Bird Observer as a work in progress with continued improvement being the aim.
