Birdwatching in Norway
Birding contacts and birdwatching information
Local Birdingpal Contacts
|
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. | ||||||

| I am from Nepal but live in Hornindal and do regular birding in Nepal. I am also involved in Bird Conservation Nepal and interested to see the birds from, this country but hard to find the people, who can be helpful or do any contacts to find the birding in this area at least. | ||||||

| 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. | ||||||
