Various gulls seen on the east coast of Jeju. Looking for gulls on Jeju Island is pretty easy in winter, buy by April a lot of the gulls have left for breeding grounds up north or have started getting ready. Usually plenty of Taimyr Gulls, which stay until May, and some Vega. Black-tailed breed in Korea, but further north than, so they are mostly gone from Jeju by May, and don't come back until August.
Slaty-backed are pretty much gone by this point aside from a couple individuals. The other species (Mongolian, Black-headed, Common, Saunders) aren't super common on Jeju to begin with and are mostly all gone by mid to late March.
