Limosahollandbirding, your site for tailor made
bird watching trips in the Netherlands

 

Welcome to Limosahollandbirding. My name is Paul Saager. I have been a fervent bird watcher for over 30 years. And I love to guide you as a fellow bird watcher in our bird-rich country. The Netherlands is an excellent place for bird watching. There are lots of birds all year round. The country is small and has excellent infrastructure. Therefore, all bird watching locations can be easily reached within a few hours.

As your personal guide I take you to your desired bird watching spot on a tailor made bird watching trip. There is so much to be seen in our low country. Thousands of Arctic geese, ducks and waders in Winter. Migratory birds from the Mediterranean and the Arctic in spring and fall. And hundreds of beautiful breeding birds in the summer. For bird watchers from Southern Europe, the Netherlands offers the closest location for Arctic birds. For bird watchers from Northern Europe, the Netherlands is closest for Mediterranean birds. And for everybody else, our country hosts countless possibilities to find your first sighting. Your lifer.

“ What fun to go birdwatching with Paul. He is an encyclopedia of knowledge about birds. And he is enthousiastic to pass his knowledge to you. A world of birds opens before your eyes when you go birdwatching with Paul. He spots the birds from a distance and shows them in your bins. I have enjoyed a great birding day with Paul, but more a sure to follow” 
Judith Traets, Emily Brugman, Haarlem, the Netherlands, 2020-08-16

“Paul is an inexhaustible source of knowledge of birds, their behaviour and their sounds. He shares this with great enthousiasm, patience and love for nature. For me, it was the first time I wend birding. But, even to me as a layman it was instructive and pleasant to see and hear all these little miracles”

Pieter van Rijn, Emily Brugman, Haarlem, the Netherlands, 2020-07-03

Thanks for an immensely instructive excursion in the Amsterdam Water Dunes. It started right when you showed us how to perfection the use of our binoculars. You were quick to spot the great-spotted woodpecker and the nuthatch to our great delight. We want to pay you a big compliment how you succeeded in passing your passion to us city folks.
