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 am an avid birdwatcher with seven years experience in birding. I am located in the capital city of Kingston which allows for city birding in the Hope Gardens. Not far away is the Blue Mountains...a birdwatcher's haven, rising to 7402ft at the peak. A minimum of 2 days birding should get most (if not all) of Jamaica's 28 endemic birds, lots of lifer's, lots of new friends and an experience to last a lifetime. | ||||||
