Søren Sørensen lives in Denmark, but the Faroes hold a special place in his ornithological heart. His great interest and devotion to birds has produced extensive bird-, nature-, and culture guides around the world, but he still finds great pleasure on his regular visits on the Faroes. For almost 35 years he has collaborated with the Danish Ornithological Association to document and describe rare and semi-rare birds. In his authorship he highlights the book Birds in the North Atlantic (Fuglar í Norðurhøvum), which he co-authored with Dorete Bloch
