For years the uk.rec.birdwatching Usenet newsgroup was a friendly, informative and entertaining place for discussing every subject which had something to do with observing wild birds in the United Kingdom (and quite a few subjects which didn't). I gathered together answers to questions which came up frequently in the group, and assembled them here in the uk.rec.birdwatching FAQs.
The onslaught of trolls on Usenet, coupled with the rise of web-based discussion groups, mean that uk.r.b is not nearly as active as it used to be, and I now rarely update the FAQs. But many of the topics are still relevant, so I still keep them here. There may well quite a few broken external links - my apologies.
