Having walked with Laury in 2014 I can say his extensive knowledge of flora and fauna is in fact second to none. Laury is a very good ornithologist, good plus understanding walk leader and a convivial companion. Quite simply one of the best. I strongly recommend that you give him a try and I’m sure he’ll not disappoint
