For a relatively tiny island, with such a high ratio of urban
development, Singapore contains a surprisingly large number of
birds - native species as well as seasonal visitors due to its
strategic position on a migration route between temperate Asia and
the eastern tropics. In this classic guide, Dr Christopher Hails
leads the reader to all the major birdwatching habitats in
Singapore, explaining changing patterns with shifting development
and nature's fascinating adaptations to urban encroachment. His
scholarly insights into migration, simplified for the lay reader,
are enthralling and illuminating. The illustrations have been
painted by artist Frank Jarvis entirely from field sketches and,
where essential, from studying skins and nests in the valued
Raffles' Collection, thus offering the highest level of accuracy in
both the birds' features and their behaviour. On the 30th
anniversary of its publication, Marshall Cavendish is proud to
release the paperback edition of this evergreen work, whose keenly
observed illustrations and explanations have yet to be surpassed.
