In this second episode, we sit together with Kenny, another one of the Belgian titans. Kenny is truly a purebred birder and rarity finder, and I must say I got hugely inspired from his appearance in the podcast. Don't be fooled by his apparent humility when he speaks, in the one hour we shared together, I can already feel he turned me into a better birder than the one I was before.  Also, I had a lot of fun noticing the obvious similarities and striking differences between Johan's answers to our questions and Kenny's. For us Belgian birders, I can say we're very lucky to have them both birding together in the same country. One big similarity between the two has a name, and that name was Gunther Vergauwen.  Enjoy!!

How to find rare birds - Kenny Hessel (NL & EN)

Looking for rare birds is a very fun way of spending your time when you're birding, but finding them is tricky, and something only few birders succeed in. Today, Johan - a Belgian super finder - tells us his side of the story. Listen carefully as he shares some of his knowledge with us, and take us through his own history in the birding world.

How to find rare birds - Johan Buckens (NL & EN)

Looking for rare birds really is an amazing and fun way of spending your time. But it's also a tricky one, as many try but few actually succeed in finding them. Some time ago, as I was doing bushes at the coast in Belgium, I had an epiphany. I thought to myself: "Niels, you clearly suck at this. Now's the time to face it". So instead of blindly keeping on, I decided to sit down and talk with the people who are actually good at it and who have made a habit of finding a shitload of rare birds, year after year. Of course, it was also a good excuse to simply sit together and talk about birds.
