Bird News from Robin Newlin
I went back to Wangsukcheon for a morning visit, hoping for another look at the Baer’s Pochard in better light. First to appear were Eurasian Coots, a single Moorhen, Common Pochards, several Gadwalls, a single Falcated Duck, and some Eurasian Teal. After about 30 minutes, the Baer’s appeared-swimming and feeding for a while, then clambering up to preen and sleep next to a Common Pochard.
