FlevoBirdwatching is operated by two birding friends, Taco and Rik.

FlevoBirdwatching is a small registered company that does not conduct trips around set dates with large groups of people. Rather, we arrange tours that cater to exactly what our clients want to see or do - with a much more personal touch. Our tours range from half-day trips to extended tours - you tell us what you wish to see and we will customise an itinerary to suit. If you are unsure of what you are after, or if you would prefer us to do the thinking, that's fine - we can present you with a range of options for you to consider. By using our services you will get highly qualified and experienced local guides with good English speaking skills and a perfect knowledge of the area.

Rik is living in Haarlem with wife and  son. He had a biological education and his ecology teacher infected Rik with the bird watching virus. Since 1997 Rik is watching birds when and where ever he can. Of course in the Netherlands and the rest of Europe but Rik visited many countries like Ecuador, the Galapagos Islands, The Gambia, Kenya, Tanzania, Morocco, Egypt and Borneo to watch birds. 

Taco is living in Huizen with two sons and wife. In daily life Taco works as an financial consulent with the local government.  Taco passion is to experience nature.  When he was just a little boy he already 'studied' the garden birds. His favorite birding spot in the Netherlands are the 'Oostvaardersplassen'. A few years ago friends asked Taco to take them out on a day of birding.  Friends of friends followed. They spread the word and that is in short the beginning of FlevoBirdwatching.
Taco enjoys to guide people during a birdwatching trip in the Netherlands. As a birder he understands the thrill of seeing a most wanted bird for the first time. Taco loves the happy faces and cheering when people see their first Bluethroat, White Tailed Eagle or Eurasian Spoonbill.
