You don't need to be an expert birder to contact a Pal. However these are serious birdwatchers who are willing to help. It is a privilege to contact them. Your message should reflect decent respect.

A Birding Pal does not charge a fee, however you should pay for their expenses, transportation costs, entrance fees, meals, etc.

Pals will answer your messages quickly, if they can. You might write to someone who is traveling, so write to more than one Pal, and be patient. Let us know if someone doesn't answer and we'll check that everything is okay.

Let us know when you are going to meet a Pal, and then let us know how it went.

Happy birding.

K van Berkel Of Gasselte, Drenthe, Netherlands Note I am a biologist and keen birder, doing a lot of photography and have been guiding professionally birding tours in many countries on 4 continents. For Birdingpal I work for free. I live in a province with 3 National Parks, many reserves with good birding spots and not far from the most superb Dutch birding areas: Wadden Sea and Lauwersmeer. Year round there are very good birding opportunities where I live. Kees van Berkel. Area and hotspots Local birds Interests
