The only place I found here:

My goodness, aren't you the ray of sunshine. In recent years, it seems to have strayed away a bit from this tendency and become, in many cases, a kind of honorarium bestowed on people that have contributed quite a bit to the field of ornithology. E.g. Megascops peterseni, Myrmotherula fjeldsaai to name a couple of recent ones.

He is mentioned Noona Dan ekspeditionen is mentioned:

No idea when he was born and what day he died in october 1961 by a reaction of an insect bite.

An interesting opinion

"Han var heller ikke så politisk korrekt, for han sagde, at hvis du ser en sjælden fugl, så skyd den for helvede, for ellers er der ingen der tror på det, og det havde han ganske ret i, hvilket jeg har oplevet mange gange både i Danmark og udlandet."

" if you see a rare bird, shoot it to hell, because otherwise, no one believes it, and he was quite right in that, which I have experienced many times both in Denmark and abroad."
