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 am an ecology graduate with a master degree in herpetology. But, I am a passionate birdwatchers, owner of field trip group. I can guide enthusiasts to the best sites in Bucharest and I also have some excellent herping and birding spots in the vicinity of the city. My wife and friends are also birders, so for sure we will have a good time. I have guided groups through the Danube Delta and the Romanian Alps in the past. I work for the government, so I am only available Saturdays and Sundays. April and September are the best months for trips, but we will manage to have a blast at any given time. Some spots I recommend: reservoirs and parks in Bucharest, some forests and swamps only 30 minutes away by rail. I`m looking forward to meeting new and interesting people.

Bucharest is an interesting birding site especially during the winter and during the migration. There are also some good birding sites close to the city (for one day trip). I lso know birding sites in Danube delta and along the Black Sea coast (for two or more day trips).

We participated in a birdwatching tour August/07 and we are very satisfied with the arrangements. Mihai Baciu is a very skilled birdwatcher, and this year in May we have again booked an exciting tour of 10 days in the Danube delta, where we will have time to explore the lakes and small canals from Tulcea to the Black Sea. We can recommend Mihai as qualified tour guides. Ole Fosvald, Danmark, ole_fosvald(AT)mail.tele.dk
