2021-10-31 Purple Heron


 On a clear sunny day moving about the west coast of Jeju, I found a Purple Heron, Ardea purpurea 붉은왜가리, feeding in a coastal wetland. A rather scarce migrant in Korea, this was a Korean first for me. While I have seen them in Borneo before, this was also the first time I managed a good photo of one. No rainy weather so unfortunately can't throw in a Prince reference.


Managed some photos of it feeding.

Waiting to strike!

Nice reddish brown colours.

Stretching its wings, nice chance to see the wing feathers.

Amidst the reeds and brush.
