Local Birdwatchers
Using the Birdingpal resources you must agree to the following: If you contact a local Birdingpal and make arrangement to go birding, you should note it is common courtesy to make sure you show up for the appointment. If for any reason you are unable to do this, the least you must do is contacting the local Pal right away. Please note that most Birdingpals are serious birdwatchers. It is a privilege to contact them, and your message should reflect it. A local Pal does not get paid, but should he/she offer to take you out birding, using their own vehicle, it would be courteous to pay for the fuel. A lunch and/or a small gift would also be appropriate, something as simple as a souvenir of your country, or a pin from your local birding club. | ||||||

| I was born in 1984 and I started birding already when I was 9-years old. Birdwatching and naute photography is life style for me. Since 2004 I have been chairman of Läänemaa Bird Club. I started my working career in Silma Nature Reserve as monitoring specialist. During last couple years I have concentrated on nature guiding (especially for birdwatchers) and publishing nature books. I can lead different kind of groups and individual clients - starting with school children and family trips and ending with keen birders. Being one of the top twitchers in Estonia, I especially enjoy guiding twitchers and other keen birders. | ||||||
