Eocheong Island, May 4 (14:20) – May 5 (14:20)<\/p>\n

Fortunately, this year’s Birdathon \u00a0stretched through a short holiday season, allowing me to have a few days on Eocheong Island. It was my first time in two years entering the Birdathon as an individual. It was a different experience to be only on foot, certainly a new aspect of the race I thoroughly enjoyed. The weather was good and the island seemed quite birdy from day one. I feel very satisfied with the results, 93 species<\/span>. I even picked up a few lifers (4)! Here are my results:<\/p>\n

Other species observed after or before my Birdathon period include Streaked Shearwater<\/strong> (2) on the ferry ride to the island in, Japanese<\/strong> and Chestnut-flanked Whiteeye<\/strong> (20+), Pallas’s Reed Bunting<\/strong> (3+), Chestnut-eared Bunting (2+), and Chestnut Bunting (3+). There were also Siberian Thrush <\/strong>and Red-throated Pipit<\/strong> reported on the island. On the last day at Eocheongdo, we had a small arrival of Black-naped Orioles<\/strong>, several Dusky Warbler<\/strong>, grosbeak including Japanese Grosbeak<\/strong>, a Sharp-tailed Sandpiper<\/strong> seen by Mr. Patrick Blake and Mr Chae Seung Hoon, that I missed most likely because of a perched Peregrine Falcon<\/strong>, and a Yellow Bunting<\/strong> observed in the morning by Mr. Kim Ohjin.<\/p>\n

All together we observed over 100 species in four days. It was easily one of the best trips I’ve ever had at the island. Thanks to everyone who joined, it was amazing. I’m very much looking forward to next year’s Birdathon! Happy birding !<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
