I have used Laurie's directions for birdwatching walks on a couple of business visits to Darwin... read more
A 16-day small group tour to view Grass Wrens in Outback Australia was our first encounter with Laurie's well-reputed ornithological and photographic skills. His obvious research into remote locations, his accurate ears and eyes, coupled with his effervescent enthusiasm and knowledge for birds helped us see and photograph these tricky and often elusive species. We also managed to see many "lifers", but in close proximity as result of Laurie's efforts and experience. As a host he was thoughtful, generous and companionable, always willing to go that extra distance for the comfort of his guests. Highly recommended and lots of fun. We have already booked our next trip with him.
Brilliant free to use guides outlining where to find birds around the Top End, I would 100% recommend for any keen birders visiting the area. Very accurate and useful with great detail, including precise map locations.
Laurie has generously made available detailed info regarding great birding sites in the Northern Territory Top End.
My wife and I recently used these to photograph a range of 'highly sought after' birds, including fantastic views of Great-billed Heron at Donkey Camp Weir near Katherine - a site we would never have found if it wasn't for Laurie.
Many thanks!
Laurie loves the birds and they reciprocate with stunning poses in remote locations. Laurie is professional, prompt, informative, and fun. A rare combination! From serious birder to enthusiasts who love new species, you will not be disappointed. Thanks for a once in a lifetime tour of the Top End! ❤️
A big thanks to the both of you for making it such an enjoyable week! I hope to see you both again some day. Laurie
I followed one of Laurie's free guides to find Mangrove Robin in Darwin - found it in the first five minutes at the exact spot described. He definitely knows his birds like the back of his hand. Many thanks!
Great to hear I could help Gab!
Another great guided trip with Laurie this time to Thailand and he gave us a brilliant time in five different ecosystems, no effort spared to tailor the trip to our requests and make sure we got the right angles for photography and find every possible bird. He knows how to get the right shots, position you for best photos and knows canon photography inside out and is a knowledgeable person to assist with getting the right photos. Laurie is a safe and careful driver so takes the stress out of travel too and for someone with mobility challenges he makes it easy by checking the routes first. A gold star guide and Highly Recommended for every serious bird photography enthusiast.
Thank you for your kind word Chris, I'm already looking forward to our next trip in December
