I took a day trip to Chuja Island to try my luck for seabirds and to see if any migrants are around on the island. The sea was pretty good, with plenty of Streaked Shearwaters and Swinhoe's Storm Petrels, both of which breed on islets between Jeju and the mainland. A large group of Common Terns was spotted on the return boatride, as well.

The island was somewhat quiet as expected, but got a couple Sakhalin Leaf Warblers (confirmed with call), Oriental Cuckoo, and a brief view of a Fairy Pitta (my first visual of one on Chuja). Not a bad visit, but very hot.
