A Field Guide to the Birds of Singapore is a fully comprehensive field guide to the 422 bird species of Singapore, as well as 'escapees' not formally accepted as 'wild' birds. The species are clearly illustrated in over 100 plates, with many variants. The main identifying features of each species are described and key facts cover size, voice, range and status, habitat and breeding. The book also includes information on taxonomy and nomenclature, observing birds, climate, habitats, the breeding cycle, migration and conservation as well as 25 key birdwatching sites with maps.
"....the three authors and the illustrator deserve congratulations and our gratitude for compiling such a useful field guide for the populous and critically located nation-state that draws upon the rich bird fauna of its Peninsular and island neighbours. The birding experience of any resident or visitor will be enhanced by consultation of the pages of this Field Guide and, by following the advice given, will get to see and identify many of the 424 bird species listed and illustrated."
