Remco Hofland
Remco was born in August 1972 and lives in Rotterdam. He has been a birder since early childhood. His parents took him to Turkey several times during his early teens and that is probably where his fascination for the Middle East originates. The combined love for travel, ancient cultures and nature took Remco to many corners of the world, among which are Jordan, Vietnam, Nepal, the Phillippines, Madagascar, Tanzania, Brazil and Mexico. For over 6 years Remco has been the manager of the Dutch Birdline, while also devoting a lot of time on the Dutch Dragonfly emailgroup. Currently, he is the chairman of Dutch Birding Association
Taking a recent interest in bird conservation, Remco co-lead the Syrian Wetland Expedition of 2004 and lead the Syrian Sociable Plover survey in 2007. Although his favourites are the laughingthrushes and other babblers of Asia, Remco loves to go out birding in The Netherlands regularly. Because of a varied number of habitats in close proximity, maximizing species as well as numbers of birds is a piece of cake in The Netherlands. Therefore, birding in Holland is great and if you want an experienced guide to accompany you, Remco would be happy to show you the birds as well as the dragonflies and butterflies in The Netherlands.
