The magazine was first published in October 1989.[1] The founder is Andrew Branson.[1] The magazine was subtitled “the magazine for the modern naturalist”.[1] Individual issues are B5 in size. The first three volumes had colour covers, but from volume 4 onwards, the design changed to a white background with dark blue text for the title, and a photograph or painting on the front cover. A regular feature is "Wildlife reports", which covers recent records and findings, by taxonomic group. Another regular feature is "Conservation News", which is compiled by Sue Everett.
