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. | ||||||

My operational scopes cover entirely Irian Jaya (West New Guinea) and Wallacean regions. With me you can see the beautiful Birds of Paradise in West Papua.

| I live and work in Kiunga, a town beside the Fly River of Western Province, Papua New Guinea. I started my interest in bird watching in 2006 with Kiunga Nature Tour - a bird watching tour company here. However I am really interested in providing relevant informations that other Birdingpals will require about birding in Western Province and especilly birding tour in the Tonda Wildlife Management Area, which have international borders with Kakadu Nat. Park (AUS) in the south and Wasur Nat. Park (INDO) to the west. | ||||||
