Local Birdingpal Contacts

Local Birdwatchers
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.

J Russell Kolossi Anytime English
Was the WSBA Consevation Group bird recorder 89-92. Back on island now until 2011 living in the Kolossi area. I visit Fasouri (Phasouri) most days, Zakaki, Bishop's Pool, Akrotiri, Episkopi. I'm happy to meet up with anyone if I'm given a day or two notice.
I had an excellent day birding with Jack Russell on Cyprus. Jack knows all the roads and paths on the Akrotiri peninsula and with his 4x4 car all of these are accessible. He visits the hotspots on the peninsula every day so he knows the actual state of the birds. Of course the actual 'score' during migration is partly luck, because the birds move on. Besides being an excellent birder with a sharp eye for everything that moves, he is also very friendly and I enjoyed being his company very much. I surely would recommend everybody to contact Jack before going to the island. Anton Duijnhouwer, the Netherlands.
