2021-10-13 Hallim, Jeju-do

A quick visit to Northwestern Jeju this afternoon, it was nice to drop by cause it's such a productive spot. 

Black-browed Reed Warbler / 쇠개개비

Black-winged Stilt / 장다리물떼새


The first surprise was a Black-browed Reed Warbler, the first one I've seen on Jeju and the first one I've seen in over a year. There was still a Black-winged Stilt hanging around, as well as a few Wood Sandpipers. 



Grey Heron / 왜가리

Osprey / 물수리

Plenty of Common Snipe around, and more ducks are rolling in. A bit of a treat was watching two Osprey doing a bit of acrobatics in the sky over the coast.

Eastern Spot-billed Duck / 흰뺨검둥오리
