A field guide to the birds of West Malaysia and Singapore

by Allen Jeyarajasingam

"This is the first fully comprehensive field guide to the birds of West Malaysia and Singapore. Every species of bird known to occur or to have occurred in West Malaysia or Singapore has been included." "The birds are illustrated in a series of 72 stunning full-colour plates, especially painted for this volume by Alan Pearson, an artist with considerable first-hand experience of the region. All major plumage variations and key identificatory features are included." "The text, written by well-known Malaysian ornithologist Allen Jeyarajasingam, is up to date and informative. It includes information on range, distribution, habitat, status, and behaviour for every bird." "Easy to use for beginners, and comprehensive enough to satisfy more experienced birdwatchers, this is by far the most current and authoritative guide to the exciting and abundant avifauna of the region to be published to date."--BOOK JACKET.
