The British Ornithologists' Club was founded in 1892 and its "Bulletin" started publication at the same time. Over the years, the "Bulletin" has had an important influence in the world of ornithology - particularly on its taxonomy. In a sample of 100 species that had, over the last hundred years, been recognised as new to science, it was discovered that 49 of them had first been announced in its pages. The "Bulletin" is not just devoted to taxonomy - exploration, migration, ecology, behaviour, conservation, as well as the British list have all been covered in its pages. The purpose of this anthology is to give all birders a chance to savour some of the articles that have over the last hundred years appeared in its pages. Where appropriate, modern experts have added a commentary.
