Chuja Island on May 17th. I had meant to visit Chuja more often during this spring, but plans change as they do, so I only managed one visit in mid May. Unfortunately, it was terribly foggy so birding was subpar at best for the season. Plenty of Streaked Shearwaters seen from the ferry right after departing the ferry at Jeju. The island itself had plenty of cuckoos, some raptors (nice view of a Grey-faced Buzzard), and plenty of egrets and shrikes. I think it will be worth visiting on a day with better weather, so perhaps the coming fall or spring next year.
