Book description
This well-illustrated volume covers the passerines of Singapore,
peninsular Malaysia, southern Thailand and the tip of Tenasserim (Burma)
with their associated island archipelagos. David Wells' historically
complete accounts draw on a full range of recent field and museum
research. Over 380 species are described, including topics such as
systematics, distribution, plumage, biometrics, status, habitat, food
and foraging, voice, behaviour, breeding biology, moult and
conservation. Along with an accompanying volume, on nonpasserine
species, it brings together the most complete modern summery of field
survey work and other research on all the birds found in the peninsula.
