Thank you so much for a wonderful stay at Churchill. You are very kind, your place is great and I love your energy and love for birds and nature. Churchill I enjoyed truly a lot these 6 days, there is so much to do and see, especially the abundant wildlife and of course the BBB: Birds, Belugas and Bears. I was lucky to see a Polar Bear 3 times and could make amazing pictures of it. The boat trip with the Belugas I will never forget, so many so close, just wow! And of course the many birds. If in the right place at the right time (very early in the morning) you see so many special birds. I saw 12 new species here (my life list is nearly 5000). I will definitely recommend you and your hotel and Churchill. It is not busy in July and you can enjoy all BBB’s J Hope to see you again someday.
