Morton Strange's shop "Natures Niche", in the Singapore Botanic
Gardens is worth a browse. Their book section of their website is at: http://www.naturesniche.com/en/naturesbooks/books/birds/birds_asiaguides1/1/
Also, the Nature Society of Singapore has just published "The Avifauna
of Singapore", which looks to be a very useful book. You cna check it
out at http://www.nss.org.sg/ There is a link on the NSS site to
their Bird Group site, which is worth a look through for what has
popped up lately in S'pore and for info of birding sites there.
Cheers,

David,
While I agree with Paul that Craig Robson's book, "New Holland Field
Guide to the Birds of South-east Asia", is a great book, because it
does not
give distribution maps & has the distribution and other details only
in the
back, it can be difficult to use & sort out some species. While not in
the
same class, Morten Strange's book, 'A Photographic Guide to the Birds of
South-East Asia' is a quick way to identify most species to be found in
Singapore. Also it is much cheaper than Robson's book and fairly easy to
obtain - especially in Singapore. I hope that Robson will soon produce a
book for Malaysia/Singapore etc that is like his outstanding book,
'Birds of
Thailand'. In it he has distribution maps, aids & notes like most world
Field Guides now have.
All the best,
Chris Coleborn
