This introduction covers more than 250 of these species, with a focus on those most likely to be seen on the outskirts of Metro Manila and open country and coastal areas. Rarer species threatened with extinction and restricted to the undergrowth of the forest, one island only, or individual mountain tops, such as the Philippine Eagle, are also covered. Packed with carefully selected full-colour photographs, and accompanying text on identification, habitat, lifestyle and distribution, this is an ideal pocket-sized guide for travellers to the region.
