The definitive photographic guide to the amazing avifauna of Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore.
Boasting an incredible diversity of habitats, ranging from lush lowland rainforests to subalpine upland woodlands to coastal mangrove forest and mudflats, Peninsular Malaysia plus the island city-state of Singapore is one of the top birding destinations in South-east Asia. The region is host to a dazzling array of spectacular south-east Asian specialities such as Blue-banded Kingfisher, Garnet Pitta and Sultan Tit, and there are a number of endemics such as Mountain Peackc-pheasant.
The perfect companion for any wildlife-friendly visitor, Birds of Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore provides photographic coverage of 374 species that regularly occur in the region. Concise text for each includes information on identification, songs and calls, behaviour, distribution and habitat, with the accompanying photos having been carefully selected to guide identification. A guide to the key habitats and recommended birdwatching locations in the region is also included.
Portable yet authoritative, this is the perfect guide for travellers and birdwatchers visiting this spectacular area.
