I have a dedicated interest for nature, particularly birds that began when I was very young, this has given me a firm naturalistic base. After the completion of my PhD from Lund University, Sweden in 1997 I have worked as a freelance ecologist on different projects such as estimating the number of breeding birds in Sweden, bird migration ecology, and on more applied project such as conducting bird surveys for EIA's when building wind farms. I have worked as a part time Senior lecturer at APLORI since 2003.
