2022 Winter Birds on Jeju: East Coast 1

 I took a few trips to the east coast this winter, as it's truly the best spot for winter birds on Jeju. The best place for ducks, gulls, seabirds, and even eagles it seems.


Pelagic Cormorant, fairly common in low numbers along Jeju coast in winter.

Osprey are also rather common on Jeju in winter, as well as spring and fall.

Peregrine Falcons are a resident bird on Jeju, and usually at least one is seen during a birdwatching trip.

Falcated Ducks, male and female. Lots were seen this winter.

Female Common Goldeneye.

Female Red-breasted Merganser, stretching her wings.

Black-faced Spoonbill, a regular wintering bird on Jeju. Probably one of the only places in Korea to see them regularly in winter.

Grey Herons.

Saunders' Gull

Temminck's Cormorant

Kentish Plover

Buff-bellied Pipit, an asian subspecies of American Pipit.

Grey Heron with a fine catch (Barred Knifejaw, Oplegnathus fasciatus)
