The world's third-largest island, Borneo is without doubt one of the world's great birding destinations. Divided between Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei, Borneo is a front-running biodiversity hotspot, and home to an avifauna featuring around 600 recorded bird species, including a host of charismatic endemic species and subspecies that are confined to this special island.
This guide is the perfect companion for any wildlife-friendly visitor to the island.

Concise text covering key information on identification, habitat and distribution accompanies the photos to guide identification. There is also a section on the best birdwatching sites on the island.

About the author
Susan Myers is an experienced bird tour leader, specialising in leading tours in South and Southeast Asia, and Japan, with the US company WINGS Birding Tours Worldwide. She grew up in Australia and has been travelling and birding in Asia for over 30 years now. A particular fascination with the tropical forests of the Sundaic region led to her writing the Birds of Borneo field guide, also published by Helm. Many years of exploration dealing with the heat, humidity and biting invertebrates have not dimmed her enthusiasm one little bit for the amazing biodiversity and the wonderful birds of this very special region.
Carlos Bocos Gonzalez is one of Spain's top bird photographers. He is one of the lead photographers of Helm's Handbook of Western Palearctic Birds.
Liew Weng Keong has been active in Malaysian nature photography since 2006.
