As a disciple of Jon Fjeldså, he has done a number of expeditions into the hinterlands of Peru looking for rare species and finding undescribed new forms. He is promoting birdwatching locally in Lima giving courses for the general public and has started a local birdwatching club, as well as a Peruvian network for the conservation of threatened birds - Asociación INCASPIZA. Gunnar is also well read on culture in general, arts, history and archeology and has broad general natural history knowledge. Gunnar easily switches between the endemic little brown jobs that interest the hard core birder and general natural history of more interest to birders preferring slower pace. You will have the best of both worlds. In 1998 he started Kolibri Expeditions - proud supporters of true community based avi-tourism programs. His motto: More Birds! Also available to Guide in: Bolivia, Colombia, Peru and Venezuela.
