I went out with a Danish friend birdwatching with Mark in late April, 2026. I had found his website and liked the philosophy of guiding that he espouses (being a former Park Interpreter myself with Canadian national parks). We had a great time with Mark, he is excellent on his birds and a great store of general knowledge. He lives near the area we visited, so knows it very well — in particular the best spots for many species. I had given Mark a short list of targets that would be lifers for me…lo and behold, we found them all. This included Eurasian Linnet, Common Redstart, Eurasian Sparrowhawk, even a White-tailed Eagle. Additionally, being a superb bird photographer himself, Mark included opportunities to capture some great images. To top it off, Mark located a Tawny Owl, what a find at the end of our excursion. Regarding logistics, Mark was very accommodating, bringing some unexpected snacks, and going well over the scheduled five hours. All these point to his enthusiasm for and enjoyment of birds, and his immense talent for sharing them with visitors.

Mark is a tremendous guide! His knowledge of bird identification of the birds of Denmark, particularly of their sounds, made for a great learning experience for a newcomer to European birding. Mark asked what I was interested in seeing and carefully crafted a great trip to some amazing locations to get a chance to see my target species. We started the day looking for Bearded Tit (check) and ended the day admiring two White-tailed Eagles with many birdy stops in between. He even found a Hen Harrier at the airport! I highly recommend a trip with Mark if you find yourself in the area!

We spent a half day with Mark in the area to the south of city. It was a great trip and he looked after us really well. He had excellent local knowledge and had planned the morning according to our interests. We saw some great birds with the highlight being bickering red necked grebes. He picked us up in his electric car from our hotel and was happy to drop us somewhere else in the city when we finished. Overall an excellent trip.
