It turns out a lot of migration occurs over the Hallasan plateau area in fall. A nice hike on an early October day with great weather had quite a bit of bird action. Red Crossbills at the trail entrance, and the usual Varied, Asian, and Coal Tits in the forest. Up on the plateau area via Eorimok to Yeongsil, there were large groups of Asian House Martins flying around, with a few White-throated Needletails mixed in. Eurasian Hobbies were feeding on dragonflies, and even one of the elusive resident Cinereous Vultures made an appearance.
