Product Description
Product Description
This site-guide covers over 40 major sites in both east and west Malaysia, with details of access, accommodation, timing, and what to see, and is illustrated with colour photos and maps. There is a full species checklist, annotated with status, habitat etc, plus a checklist of mammal species. This is a much-needed book on a poorly covered region. 'This should be an essential companion for the dedicated and more casual birder alike.' - Ken Panchen, "Birding World".

This book not only covers the major, popular birdwatching sites of both Peninsular Malaysia and Malaysian Borneo, but lots of wonderfully obscure, little-known areas as well.
Descriptions of all sites are accompanied by a sketch map, details on access and facilities, and long lists of birds to be seen there - grouped according to how easy/hard they are to see.
A must have for all birdwatchers going to Malaysia, and indeed very useful for anyone interested in nature reserves of the country.

An excelent and much needed book.
The only criticism of the book is that, perhaps understandably, there is an improportionate amount of information on birding in Borneo as opposed to the peninsula.
Perhaps the author could think about a further book concentrating on the much under birded peninsula.
