Abstract
All around the world, pelagic birdwatching is revolutionising our knowledge of the world’s seabirds and their distribution. In the Asia Pacific
Region, whilst the ferries of Japan have long been p o p u l a r wi t h b i r d e r s a n d p e l a g i c t r i p s f r om Australia have run for many years, up until recently the offshore waters of South and South-East Asia
were almost completely neglected. The intention of this brief article is to summarise recent growing interest in pelagic birding in South-East Asia and hopefully to encourage and challenge others in the region to take to the water—there is much still to be discovered beyond the sight of land at the
region’s ornithological final frontier.
