A concise yet authoritative 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 a compact, field-friendly field guide to the region's birds.

The guide covers every species recorded in the region. Each has been illustrated across 140 plates to show all plumages and distinctive races, with concise identification text including information on identification, habitat, vocalisations, status and distribution.

This book is a portable yet authoritative guide to the birds of this ornithologically rich slice of tropical Asia.

Craig Robson is a professional ornithologist, author and artist, specialising in Asian birds. Craig has spent many years in the field in Asia (from the Himalayas, China and Japan south to Sri Lanka, mainland Southeast Asia and Indonesia), often visiting remote areas that have been only rarely explored in the past. He helped to launch the Oriental Bird Club and served on its council for five years, writing numerous papers in its journal during that time. Craig is based in Norfolk, England.
