Bird News from Dr. Kim Seok-Yee and Andreas Kim<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A short 45 minutes visit after lunchtime found the site at maximum high tide with sunny and windy conditions. Most birds enjoyed the warming sun in roosting positions. Unfortunately a new construction has started at the corner of the habitat P2 (see more on the Mokpo Namhang Urban Wetland habitat page<\/a>) just beside the birdwatching hide. A sign tells that the construction is planned to be finished in early 2015 so that it can be assumed that this is the final year for migrant birds at this site in significant numbers. Trucks come very frequently with load to fill in the site. For access they use a road that passes also the habitats P1 and P4 and so the construction is already a huge disturbance for the complete site. This is rather sad, as in the coming days the arrival of shorebirds from New Zealand and Australia is expected.<\/p>\n

None the less the place is still very “birdy” with Great Crested Grebe<\/b> 17, Great Cormorant<\/b> 43, Grey Heron<\/b> 19, Little Egret<\/b> 1, Common Shelduck<\/b> 97, Eurasian Teal<\/b> 205, Eastern Spot-billed Duck<\/b> 162, Mallard<\/b> 18, Eurasian Wigeon<\/b> 33, Northern Shoveler<\/b> 9, Gadwall<\/b> 54, Eurasian Coot<\/b> 2, Kentish Plover<\/b> 6, Common Sandpiper<\/b> 2, Black-tailed Gull<\/b> 52, Vega Gull<\/b> 225, Common Gull<\/b> 30, Oriental Turtle Dove<\/b> 9, Brown-eared Bulbul<\/b> 7, Olive-backed Pipit<\/b> 11, Black-backed Wagtail<\/b> 1, Dusky Trush<\/b> 1, Tree Sparrow<\/b> 19, Eurasian Magpie<\/b> 9 counted.<\/p>\n
