We took a short morning visit to Gapa Island, a small round and flat island on the south coast inbetween Jeju and Mara. While we weren't there strictly for birding, it was spring and the weather was fantastic, so w did spend a bit of time looking to see what was around. Gapa doesn't seem to be birded as much as other spots around Jeju, so it was nice to see some interesting migrants like Japanese Thrush and Yellow-browed Bunting.

A friend of mine, another fellow Canadian who also used to bird on Jeju, visited Gapa a couple years ago and also found some goodies. Check out this reports here:
