BirdGuides webzine

The BirdGuides webzine is an online magazine containing topical articles on bird-related subjects and a searchable archive of older articles. It includes a brief overview of recent rarities by county, but otherwise it's not really a bird news service. Some of the articles can be read by everybody, but some are restricted to subscribers. Currently, if you subscribe to any of the above services, you automatically get a subscription to the webzine as well. If you don't want a bird news service, you can subscribe to the webzine only.
