A Field Guide to the Birds of West Malaysia and Singapore

This field guide describes each of the 640 species of birds known to occur or to have occurred in West Malaysia and in Singapore. The main author is based in Malaysia, and he and the artist have extensive first-hand field experience of the birds of the region. Every species, including major plumage variations, is illustrated in 72 full-colour plates. The comprehensive text includes data on calls and song, range, distribution, habitat, status, and behaviour. Introductory chapters provide useful information on migration, breeding, and conservation. A section on birdwatching in the region includes information on key birdwatching sites, and what to look for there.
