Spring bird migration generally starts earlier on Jeju than the mainland of Korea, so visiting an offshore island like Mara-do in late March or early April can yield a nice mix of migrants. So of course I made a plan to check out what's what in late March. It was clear that spring migrants were trickling in during my visit, but the island was not quite hitting full migration mode yet.
