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 have birded with Kalu during three separate visits to Ghana and have nothing but praise for his bird watching and organisational skills as well as his unfailing good humour. I heartily recommend him to any birders wishing to discover the birds of Ghana, including such hard to see species as Yellow-headed Picathartes. Birdingpal Mike Bowman butor2003(AT)yahoo.fr | ||||||
