Bird News from Robin Newlin and Im Kwang Wan
A morning only poking around rice fields at Paju yielded about 20 snipe, made (more) difficult by distance and poor lighting: most appeared to be Commons while 3 or 4 looked like Pin-tailed. Other highlights: 2 Black-faced Spoonbills, 1 Pallas’s Grasshopper Warbler, 3 Wood Sandpipers, 1 Long-toed Stint, a few Pheasants, several Kestrels and a probable (from call) Pechora Pipit.
