We have had several great birding days over the years in New Jersey USA with our GREAT BirdingPals: P. in Cape May and B. in Northern New Jersey, both of whom have become firm friends.Now, we are awaiting our first-time visitor, Dennis, to help him in our own area. Can't wait!What a wonderful system this is. Well done KnudGreat - what a great feeling to host a pal having had several birding days with our pal/friends in NJ USA.Here in the center of England we may not have the hundreds of species that occur in the USA but we can offer some fantastic sights! An example: Our pal Dennis from Florida sent us a wide ranging list of European birds he would like help with. Several were already moving away from us for the winter, quite a few were never going to be seen in the UK but many more were either in our own back garden or at local reserves.So, Saturday was spent at three different locations in and around the West Midlands - it helped that Sheila and I are members of both the West Midland Bird Club and Worcestershire Wildlife Trust. Not only was dennis able to tick off several from his list but he also was looking for mammals and at our first site of Upton Warren, he spotted two Otters a 'first' for him and also for us at that location.The following day we took Dennis to Wales, which we insist was a new 'country'. Anyway, the object was to see red Kite and boy did we give him that species in abundance! There were approximately 300 at the Gigrin farm feeding station near Rhayader. Dennis also managed to see 'our' Treecreeper too. Inevitably we 'dipped' on some easy birds such as coal tit and green woodpecker, but Dennis managed several at his hotel later in the week.You guys are awesome. I will try you again on my next Int'l trip...What a responsive and helpful organization!No refund, thanks.Kind regardsI want to thank Birding Pal for the opportunity to meet birdwatchers from other countries.Last days we enjoyed the company of L. Choong in Malaysia who took us to see beautiful places in his country. With his vehicle we toured places he knew and showed us many species of birds. Even though I do not speak English very well, we understood each other perfectly.Thank you very much Birding Pal and Liung thank you very much for your willingness to accompany us throughout the day.Best regards from Argentina.I've used your site many times in locations all over the world!Thanks for keeping it going.Hi. I want to say that this website and the service it and you offer is absolutely tremendous. I've hosted birders from other parts of the USA, Spain, and the Netherlands. In return, I've been hosted in England, Italy, Hawaii, Colorado, Utah, and Florida.I really enjoyed using Birding Pal on my recent Ireland trip. I contacted 4 potential pals. Of these I got replies from 3. I ended up spending a fine afternoon with D. McCabe -- he was an excellent driver and guide for the bays and wetlands around Dublin.I plan to use Birding pal again!

"... Today, though, I was more concerned with chasing the flashy types.

I have connected through Birding Pal

(a website where birders can find contacts in other countries)

with two excellent Costa Rican birders, R. Orozco and J. Fernandez, and we're on a mission this week to track down some of Costa Rica's most eye-catching beauties."

I have been very happy with the two times I have used Birding Pal.



A year ago I paid $10.00 USD, but I would prefer that you unsubscribe me now.



When/if I'm in a position to use Birding Pal again,



I will gladly pay the $10.00 at that time.

Thank you very much.That was so kind!I was able to send a message and paid the $10I am now getting some good response. My Florida trip is now even more promising for great birding!Thank you,BirdingPal.org is a great site. Easily worth the annual $10 for anyone birding away from home.I recently was led on a birding outing in the Fontainebleau Forest by a Birding Pal in Paris, France. He was a wonderful guide and took care of many details.Great service!Contact Admin,Just wanted to let you know that we had a fabulous time with Birding Pals and a Birding Pal Professional Guide recently in Belgium, England, and Poland.Thank you so much for this site.I sure do take birders out each chance I get. Still quit busy at work :). But if I can, I go out with them cause it's so much fun, and I know, from personal experience, there is no field guide or web site or whatever that can replace the personal experience of a birder who knows his region well, and what birds should be there and were.So, if for whatever reason I can't get out or they are going to a part of the province that is far from Moncton, I always try and give them at least the best information possible and if possible contacts with local people, that I know would be open to birding with them.Your idea for this site was a stroke of genius and you should know that you have made a lot of people happy with it. Thanks a million.Good birding.Thanks for a great website.Thanks for the delightful service you provide. We've had birders from Germany, Spain, Texas and a few from California. It is so wonderful to meet such dedicated and interesting people.I am very happy for seen me on Birding Pal website as a contact local birdwatcher in Sierra Leone. I appreciate that very much and i will ready to give my support as soon as i start getting contact from client who want to bird in my country.I will always keep in touch with Birding Pal.Best Regard,I have used Birding Pal in Florida with great success.Dear Birding Pal, We have used your web site 3 times for birdwatching tours.In 2012 with Moses Kandie in Kenya,in 2013 with Deogratius Muhumuza in Uganda.Moses and Deo were extremely good birders but also good organisers. We would have no hesitation in recommending them or using them for another trip.Great job, thank you so much dear Vince.Happy birding to you too!Thanks for the quick reply, Vince.Thanks for the quick reply.Thank you, That is a most generous response. ...we won't be able to take advantage of your kind offer, but I appreciate your responding.That's a relief! I did get some good suggestions for birding spots in Arlington TX before my trip last March!Thanks for the quick reply!Sincerely,
