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.

My book is simply a by-product of many very happy hours spent bird watching in Pelion. It is a comparatively new area for monitoring birds, but gradully its fame is spreading as a good place to be, especially during migration. Since 1995 I have discovered 120 'new' species to add to the list which now stands at over 225.

Thank you for your letter and the excellent birding opportunity in Athens. I was very pleased to spend a splendid day with you around Athens. It was great to find all my target birds, other beautiful species and having a nice trek on the mountains' slopes close to the capital. I enjoyed very much your company and your expertise. Thank you, and hope to see you again during another birding trip in Greece. Attila Simay, Hungary. attilasimay(AT)hotmail.com
The birding day was very enjoyable and you were an extremely good guide. You were prompt in picking me up at my hotel and we immediately went to the birding areas. Your English was very good, knowledge of the birds and the area seemed to be "top grade", and you made every effort to answer all of my questions. I would be more than happy to recommend your services to any wishing to bird the Athens' area. Gary Grey, South Carilina, USA. popsgaryg(AT)yahoo.com
In may 2006 I made a birdtrip to Greece. When I looked after locations to se birds I came across Spyros Skareas, who is a bird guide and tour leader. I can really recommend others birdwatchers, that will come and look for birds in Greece, to hire Spyros for guiding. In my case i had great help finding Rock Partridge and Olive-tree Warbler.

Spyros Skareas is a long time Birdingpal guide, well known in his own country and by myself or birders from around the world.
