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. | ||||||

| In 1993 I heard about the local Ornithological Society, and become a member there. Next year I was elected to the local council. I have been there since, most of the time as leader. I like very much to look at the birds in wild, but I also use much time ringing birds. Since 1998 I also had nursed many injured birds. | ||||||

| 32 years old(young) been birding since i was 7. Partley I work with birds and natur related stuff as a living. I live in south east Norway one and a halv ours drive from Oslo. There is a lot of good birding spots close to my home. In the autum the migration is consetrated over a place called Møland. On the best days in Sept-Oct you can see 30-100000 pigeons, finches and other passerines in one morning! There is also several other good places by the coast. In the forest f.ex. Black Woodpeckers are relativley common. | ||||||
