Author Biography

Craig Robson is a professional ornithologist, author and artist, specialising in Asian birds. Craig has spent many years in the field in Asia (from the Himalayas, China and Japan south to Sri Lanka, mainland Southeast Asia and Indonesia), often visiting remote areas that have been only rarely explored in the past. He helped to launch the Oriental Bird Club and served on its council for five years, writing numerous papers in its journal during that time. Craig is based in Norfolk, England.
