The classic field guide to the birds of South-east Asia

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 is the definitive field guide to the region's birds.

Birds of South-East Asia covers all of the 1,327 species recorded in the region. Each species has been illustrated to show all plumages and distinctive races, with concise identification text. The species accounts go into further detail on identification, habitat, vocalisations, status, and distribution.

This guide represents an important contribution to ornithology in South-east Asia, and an important work of reference for any birder or naturalist visiting or living in the region.
