Customized Bird Guiding

I usually guide privately several times a year, and in recent years, I have focussed increasingly on private guiding that is tailor-made to the interests, expectations and experience of individual clients, couples, and small groups of friends.

Guiding has enabled me to share some of the most incredible and sought-after birds with hundreds of international birders and has provided me with intimate knowledge of numerous birding hotspots. As well as private guiding, I currently lead tours for Limosa and WildWings, and have worked for companies such as Birdtour Asia and Birdquest in the past. Please Click here to see more about my experience.

​

My main aim is to provide you with a professional guide to accompany you on your birding trips, whether you are an individual, a couple, or a small group of friends. I am also always excited to assist birders with arrangements and guiding trips to less-known destinations for particular target bird species. If you are interested in organised tours with fixed dates, please visit the Limosa site here.

Why hire a professional guide?

Hiring a professional bird guide instead of going on an organised bird tour gives you the flexibility to plan your day according to your needs, stay in the accommodation of your choice and travel in vehicles that best suit you.

You can get up at a time that suits you, spend as long as you want searching for a particular species, take a siesta, or change your plans on the go, and even alter your itinerary, something that you can rarely do on any organised tour. It also means that you do not have to carry a telescope and tripod around all day, since this is something that a guide can do.
