>From my trips to M/sia and S/pore, I found most locals seem to use it. Some
of the copies floating around over there are nearly Gold. I met and was on
a team with, a Gentleman commonly know as “Uncle Fu”. His copy was so full
of annotations and paste ins, that it would be an Ornithological treasure.
If I were to go back there again, Jeyarajasingam would be the guide I would
take. I would need a new copy, because the binding in my copy has not
survived the several drownings it has had. Robson, would probably do the
job, but it does really stop a bit short of some of the more interesting
parts of the peninsula, and S/pore. S/pore is a bit special, because of the
escapes and those species that have crept in from the northern parts of
Indonesia.
Are you thinking of going yourself? If so, I might be able to send some
info your way. Don’t forget to tap into the Nature Society of Singapore’s
Bird Group. They have some red hot birders there.
