Seogwipo April 12-13<\/strong>
\nSeogwipo\u2019s parks are buzzing with flycatchers! Cracking male Narcissus Flycatchers<\/strong> were spotted in two riverside parks, with six seen in total. Blue-and-white<\/strong> (5), Asian Brown<\/strong> (3), and Dark-sided<\/strong> (1) Flycatchers were also seen gorging themselves on insects. Also notable in these parks was a freshly-marked Eastern Crowned Warbler<\/strong>, and a Striated Heron<\/strong> on a familiar patch of stream (where I\u2019ve seen Striated Herons overwintering in the past, but not this past winter). A presumably escaped Muscovy Duck was also seen here, with its head and bill structure strongly recalling a Mandarin Duck.
\nIn my neighbourhood, small groups of Ashy Minivets<\/strong> have been heard twice more in the past week, with a single bird spotted circling aimlessly around the area for several days.<\/p>\n
