The Avifauna of Singapore

This book deals with every wild bird species known to have occurred in the country. The introductory sections cover habitats, geography, geology, climate, history of ornithology and conservation. The systematic review of the status of each species forms the bulk of the book, with detailed textual infomation on status, distribution, habitat preference, breeding seasonality, migration patterns, conservation and museum collections. This book represents an impressive distillation of an immense amount of local ornithological research, much of which was not readily accessible, and would be a valuable ornithological resource for Southeast Asia in general and Singapore in particular.
