点评:Even though I'm a nature nerd, I'm really bad at identifying birds, so I decided that to make the most of my visit to the Danube Delta, I should travel with a guide. This was the BEST decision I could have made!
And John is the BEST guide!!! As someone who lives in the Delta, he has an incredible wealth of knowledge of the local flora and fauna. I did 2 tours with him (apx. 4 hours each) and I felt I got so much better at identifying birds in just that short time. Where normally I'd identify a "spastic bird that flies like a bat" now I know it's a Whiskered Tern, and I'll certainly never forget that.
Other than the numerous birds we saw, we were also lucky enough to spot a Golden Jackal, so his eagle eyes are not just scanning the skies, but the shore as well. His well-rounded knowledge doesn't end at the wildlife either. We also sampled a bite of bulrush root, which he explained was a plant people harvested in the past.
John is very friendly and really knows how to spot and get good views of wildlife without being intrusive. He's also a great teacher! I highly recommend a tour with John!
翻译:虽然我是个自然爱好者,但我的鸟类识别能力却很差,所以为了充分利用这次多瑙河三角洲之旅,我决定找个导游陪同。这真是我做过的最好的决定!
约翰就是最好的导游!!!作为一名生活在三角洲的人,他对当地的动植物知识了如指掌。我跟着他参加了两次旅行(每次大约4个小时),感觉自己在短短的时间内识别鸟类的能力提高了不少。通常我会认出一只“像蝙蝠一样飞的痉挛鸟”,但现在我知道那是须燕鸥,我绝对不会忘记这一点。
除了我们看到的众多鸟类之外,我们还很幸运地发现了一只金豺,所以他那锐利的目光不仅在扫视天空,也在海岸边。他渊博的知识并不仅限于野生动物。我们还尝了一口芦苇根,他解释说,这是过去人们采集的一种植物。
约翰非常友善,而且非常擅长在不打扰别人的情况下发现并欣赏野生动物。他也是一位很棒的老师!我强烈推荐和约翰一起游览!
