Written in an accessible, non-scientific, manner and larded with accompanying pictures the reader is for a moment drawn into the life of the described birds. Not unlikely you will look in a different way at birds after reading this book, even at the common species around you every day.
The book concludes with an overview of some of the bird watching hot-spots in Brunei, Sabah & Sarawak, where you can put your new way of looking at these creatures and at nature in general into practice.
