Hi All,



I may be heading to Java (Yogyakarta to be precise) on a business trip later
this year and I'm looking for the best bird field guide book for the region.



I have the 2004 reprint of MacKinnon, J. & Phillipps, K. 1993. A Field Guide
to the Birds of Borneo, Sumatra, Java and Bali (Oxford University Press,
Oxford), but I wondered if there are other field guides that are just as
useful or better.  MacKinnon & Phillipps has texts describing distributions,
but does not contain maps, plus the main text is in a separate part of the
book to the plates .  I'm also guessing that the taxonomy is a bit dated.



Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.



Kind regards,

Stephen
