I think BirdQuest is about the best of them but they aren't cheap http://www.birdquest.co.uk (http://www.birdquest.co.uk). Others that I think are quite good are Nature Trek http://www.naturetrek.co.uk/ (http://www.naturetrek.co.uk/) and HeatherLea http://www.heatherlea.co.uk (http://www.heatherlea.co.uk) but as mentioned there are loads of companies out there. Other familiar names are Sunbird, Wild Wings, Bird Seekers, etc. It is probably best to look over the trip reports on the Internet for where you want to go and see what people who have been with these companies say about them

Hi,

Depending on what you want, I do lead trips around Europe.  Mainly bird orientated.  So far this has been a part time passion but from 2010 will be a full time project.  Let me know if your interested in hearing more.  Contact me at stewart.hinley@ntlworld.com 

Stew.

PS - could have mentioned me Jamie!
