Inhaltsangabe

This new 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 stunning full-colour plates, especially painted for this volume. The comprehensive text includes data on calls and song, range, distribution, habitat, status, and behaviour. Introductory chapters provide useful and interesting 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. Easy to use for beginners, and comprehensive enough to satisfy experienced birdwatchers, this is by far the most up-to-date and authoritative guide to the exciting and abundant avifauna of this increasingly popular holiday region.
