If you want to learn about birds in NZ, Tom is your guy. We had an epic adventure blasting around the North Island getting all the inside knowledge. Highly recommend Tom for your next birding trip.

Tom was a very interesting and competent guide for the day. We saw several birds I was hoping for and saw his private reserve. He is a good conversationalist and provided us with both history and nature information.

I travel all Over the world looking at birds, and this was one day I will always remember. Not only was Tom lovely to be with, of course we had to invite him to our home in Texas, but he was one of the best guides we have ever had. He knew the botany and well as birds and he is also a great educator. Well worth every bit of time we spent with him and his amazing knowledge of nature.
We were Lucky to find him!

Spent an awesome day birding with Tom. 51 species (mostly new to me) in six hours of birding. Tom really knows New Zealand, it’s birds and their habitats. He is a top notch birder with wide experience in conservation projects which has greatly expanded his knowledge of the region. Tom also offers multi-day trips which will produce many more species and habitats. You will really enjoy your time with him, let him show you “his” New Zealand.

Tom really knows his birds, where to find them and how to spot them. The Maugataurari Reserve was the highlight of my day (sorry Tom for the Wrybills and the White-fronted terns with their cute babies!) : a complete hilltop is double-fenced to keep introduced predators out. Within the beautiful and old forest it's birds galore ! The first thing you notice when you arrive there is the orchestra of birdsong ! I saw my very first Kaka there at such close range that I can count their eyelashes in my photos ! Thanks for a great day, Tom !
