Illustrated by David Bakewell
Important manual which covers the 84 species of shorebird recorded in South-East Asia. Of these, eighteen are listed as globally threatened by BirdLife International. Based on a programme which the Bureau has been running since 1983, this manual describes the study methods and techniques developed and used by their staff. Starting with brief descriptions of migratory routes and a guide to the Asian shorebird families, the text then describes field survey and census methods.
