As many of you may now be aware, the latest issue of Yorkshire Birding (Volume 21, no 4) will be the last to be published. Subscription copies have now been posted out and if you are due to any refund this will be included. There are several reasons why we have taken this decision, including the fact that with spiralling costs (particularly postage) and falling subscriptions we would have been forced into further price increases, pushing the price per issue to what we believe would have been an unrealistic ask, particularly in the current climate. We would like to think that over the past 21 years Yorkshire Birding has filled a niche for Yorkshire birders and are proud of this fact, as, to the best of our knowledge, this has been enjoyed by no other county. We are of course eternally grateful to all those who have supported the magazine in any way either by contributing to the content of the magazine or simply by purchasing a copy. Perhaps the biggest change in birding since Yorkshire Birding was first published has been the arrival of the internet which in turn has meant that much of the material published in the magazine is now available online, and often almost instantly. Perhaps this is the way forward for Yorkshire Birding? Whatever the case, we do feel there is a need for new blood, so if anyone out there fancies a crack at it please do not hesitate to get in touch, as we would be only too pleased to assist in any way possible. In the meantime we will continue to update the Yorkshire Listers League Table on this blog and will also be pleased to publish any photos, drawings, articles, or news snippet’s you might wish to contribute too. Please email any contributions or correspondence to yorkshirebirding@blueyonder.co.uk For now, all that remains to be said is a big thank you to you all and of course, good Yorkshire birding!

1 The 3 number references are Volume, Issue, Page.
2 Items which feature in most or all issues (Seasonal Summaries, RSPB News and the Editorial snippets on the first few pages) are omitted to save space as are general entertainment items (quizzes, crosswords, comic strips etc.).
3 The articles 'A Yorkshire Birders Diary', which have complemented the Seasonal Summaries in each issue since Volume 6, have also been excluded. These have been contributed by John Hewitt (1997 and 1998), Frank Moffatt (1999), John Beaumont (2000) and
Damian Money (2002), John Horton (2003), Darren Starkey (2006 and 2008)
4 Mr Listers Gossip Column (in every issue since Volume 8, Number 2) is also excluded.
5 The sections involving bird species are listed in Voous order (still used by Birding World) rather than the somewhat volatile systems which have replaced this in recent years. Other sections are broadly in alphabetic order.
