Bird News from Nial Moores, Jason Loghry, Matt Poll and Heloise Stankard<\/strong><\/p>\n

After heavy overnight rain, a clear mild morning, though with strong northeasterly winds, before more heavy rain moved in again in the afternoon.\u00a0 Early on, the few remaining allotments outside of Taejongdae held 10+ Barn Swallow <\/strong>(the first of c<\/em>. 50 seen during the day), 6+ Stejneger\u2019s Stonechat<\/strong>, two Red-billed Starling<\/strong> and two personata<\/em> Black-faced Bunting<\/strong>, and (the personal first of the year) Intermediate Egret <\/strong>seen coming in off the sea from the southwest.<\/p>\n

At the Nakdong Estuary, the first of two Pacific Reef Egrets<\/strong> (with the second of the day seen at Igidae driving afternoon rain), and probably 10 Whooper Swan<\/strong>, single Eastern Marsh<\/strong> and Hen Harriers<\/strong>, an oddly pale-fronted White-tailed Eagle<\/strong> and several Western Osprey<\/strong> (on poles\u2026) left over from the winter. One or two Great Knot<\/strong>, 2-3 Bar-tailed Godwit<\/strong> and a dozen Far Eastern Curlew<\/strong> were obviously recently-in, as was an Eastern Yellow Wagtail<\/strong>. Other species of note there a sadly oiled Red-throated Loon <\/strong>and a (breeding-plumaged) Eurasian Spoonbill<\/strong><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In woodland at Dadapo, few thrushes, but perhaps 10 Eurasian Wren<\/strong>, 2+ Asian Stubtail<\/strong> and a male nominate Blue-and-white Flycatcher <\/strong>(personal first of the year), while on the western side of the estuary we found 5+ Dusky Thrush<\/strong> and three flocks of waxings, containing in total c<\/em>. 110 Japanese<\/strong> and two Bohemian Waxwings.<\/strong><\/p>\n
