2022 Winter Birds on Jeju: East Coast 2

 A second set of photos of birds seen during various trips to the Jeju east coast this winter.


Harlequin Duck, one individual found by a visiting friend. I was pretty excited to tick this one on Jeju as I didn't get any photoso of the ones I saw in Gangwon-do a couple years ago.

Long-tailed Shrike. I saw this one at the same spot back in September, which made me wonder if it's the same individual, or just a coincidence.

Pacific Reef Heron; I got surprisingly close to this one while it was fishing.

Carrion Crow, an uncommon bird on Jeju.

Male Red-breasted Merganser

Leucistic Eastern Spot-billed duck

Caspian Tern hiding behind the reeds.

Caspian Tern peeking out a bit from the rock.

Caspian Tern after I accidentaly flushed it. Luckily it landed back in its original spot after a bit of flying.

Presumed female Canvasback with male and female Common Pochards. More on that Canvasback in another post.

Greater Spotted Eagle, seen flying over Hado wetland briefly. This was a bird long on my list and it felt satisfying finally getting nice good looks at one.
