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 work as a nightwatch every second week and are almost always available for birdwatching. I usually go birdwatching in Northern Fyn, but if you have a car everything is possible. I'm anno 1967. In the vicinity you can find places like Nærå Strand (Waders, ducks), Gyldensteens enge (Geese) and the beautiful island of Æbelø
(Golden Oriole).

I'm a behavioral ecologist that have been birdwatching since 1977 both locally and worldwide. In my local area you can find most of the common Danish birds, and some specialities like White-tailed Eagle, Eagle Owl, Kingfisher, Black Woodpecker, Nightjar, Woodlark and Great Grey Shrike. The chance of seeing some of these species may depend on the season. If I have the time, I can also take other Birdingpals birdwatching to some of the best Danish birding areas.

There not any exceptionel areas close to Copenhagen in Denmark, but just across the bridge to Sweden 50 km from here, there is top locallity during migration at Falsterbo and in the whole Skåne. I am interested in fotografing bird myself.

I live in the eastern part of Zeeland, which is a great crossroad for bird migration from Scandinavia/Arctic/Siberia to Europe/Africa. We have several fine locations for watching birds during migration seasons in spring and autumn. In springtime and early summer we also have excellent locations for many breeding passerine birds. I'm an amateur bird watcher, active in BirdLife Denmark as tour guide and also active in a local group for this area.
