This is a neat little book of 110 pages has 200 colour photographs of birds seen at the Rainforest Discovery Centre and surroundings at Sepilok, near Sandakan on the E. Coast of Sabah, East Malaysia on the island of Borneo. 300 bird species have now been recorded, with 15 endemics, including the icon of  Borneo birds, the Borneo Bristlehead (see pic), which is easier to see here than elsewhere. Sepilok is only 20 minutes from Sandakan airport. It has a third generation canopy walkway, a heroic structure in steel, as steady as a rock, surrounded by scattered tall forest trees and a regenerating lower storey. Hornbills are common and easily seen.
The Rainforest Discovery Centre is proving to be one of the best birding sites in Borneo, due to its accessibility and its nearness to the  primary forest of  the 6,100 ha Sepilok Forest Reserve. The Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre is just down the road.
The  photos in this book are of a high quality and the text informative, although some further work is needed on it. The Forestry Department in general and Dr Robert Ong (text) and Ced Prudente (photos) can be congratulated on a really handy pocket guide that does the business. BBooks looks forward to selling updated versions of this book for many years to come.
