This is the first-time flexi-cover edition of this classic field guide,
which is the definitive volume on the region's birdlife. This
award-winning book, which was first published in 2000, was fully updated
in 2009 to include 76 new species for the region that were recent new
discoveries for science, taxonomic 'splits' or had been recorded there
for the first time. This comprehensive field guide to the birds of
South-East Asia covers all of the 1,327 species recorded in the region
and each has been fully illustrated. This edition has many new artworks
and 16 more colour plates than the original guide, and the text has been
meticulously updated to take in all the most recent information. The
vast diversity of South-East Asian birdlife attracts increasing numbers
of birdwatchers each year. Covering Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore,
Peninsular Malaysia, Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia, this unique and
indispensable guide covers in detail the identification, voice,
breeding, status, habitat and distribution of all the species and
distinctive subspecies of the region.
