Pieter de Groot Boersma
The Netherlands
Pieter is a 26 year-old (as of 05-01-2009) student (for biology teacher) who has been enjoying birds from at least the age of 6. It was then that his teacher wrote in his testimonial that "Pieter is a nice kid, but he should stop staring at the birds outside during class". And it only got worse from the age of 10, when he inherited a few bird books from his grandfather and got his first binoculars from his dad. Pieter has had the fortune to visit many European countries starting when he was 16, and now he has set his eyes beyond the European borders. After photography he decided to buy a camcorder, partly because of the IBC-website. He now has material from Mexico, Belize & Guatemala, Peninsular Malaysia, Sri Lanka, India and The Gambia, as well as a few vagrants for the Netherlands. He has set his eyes on Sulawesi and Halmahera for the summer of 2009! His partner in crime during these travels is Frank Derriks, who posted a number of photographs on this site.IBC Personal statistics:
