Most notable species\/ numbers recorded during this weather-limited survey work, largely focused on counting birds moving along the coast for two hours in the morning and one hour in the evening, included:<\/p>\n
Brant Goose<\/strong> \ud751\uae30\ub7ec\uae30. Nine north on the 12th<\/sup> and four north on the 13th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Asiatic White-winged Scoter<\/strong> (\u201cSiberian Scoter<\/strong>\u201d) \uac80\ub465\uc624\ub9ac\uc0ac\ucd0c. A few along the coast on the 11th<\/sup>, with 16 moving south on the morning of the 12th<\/sup> and 311 south on the morning of the 13th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Long-tailed Duck <\/strong>\ubc14\ub2e4\uafe9. Between four and eight. One male south and one female north on the 12th<\/sup>; four together (three males and a female) south in the morning of the 13th<\/sup>, and in the afternoon, two males separately seen flying north.<\/p>\n Short-tailed Shearwater<\/strong> \uc1e0\ubd80\ub9ac\uc2b4\uc0c8. An all-dark shearwater seen at some distance feeding athletically on the 11th<\/sup> seemed closest in structure to this species.<\/p>\n Black-legged Kittiwake<\/strong> \uc138\uac00\ub77d\uac08\ub9e4\uae30. Fifty resting on the water on the 12th<\/sup>; and at least four juveniles seen with 20+ adults moving south on the 13th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Glaucous Gull<\/strong> \ud770\uac08\ub9e4\uae30. Four or five present.<\/p>\n Spectacled Guillemot<\/strong> \ud770\ub208\uc379\ubc14\ub2e4\uc624\ub9ac. Five on the 13th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Ancient Murrelet<\/strong> \ubc14\ub2e4\uc1e0\uc624\ub9ac. Seventy-six counted moving south on the 13th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Rhinoceros Auklet<\/strong> \ud770\uc218\uc5fc\ubc14\ub2e4\uc624\ub9ac. Four south on the 13th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Short-eared Owl<\/strong> \uc1e0\ubd80\uc5c9\uc774. One watched coming in off the sea on the 12th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Peregrine Falcon<\/strong> \ub9e4. One small adult and a very large brownish-backed juvenile (japonensis<\/em>).<\/p>\n Japanese Waxwing<\/strong> \ud64d\uc5ec\uc0c8. One adult male on the 13th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Japanese Bush Warbler<\/strong> \uc12c\ud718\ud30c\ub78c\uc0c8. One heard calling in the 13th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Long-tailed Tit <\/strong>\uc624\ubaa9\ub208\uc774. Several white-headed birds (and zero hybrid types) in among flocks of magnus<\/em>.<\/p>\n Phylloscopus<\/em> sp. On the 13th<\/sup>, a clean-looking, fairly delicate looking phylloscopus warbler was seen for twenty seconds or so, just before rain became even heavier. Details were insufficient to make an ID, and the bird could not be re-found despite a two-hour search. It had a single wing-bar and some yellowish wash on the throat and breast; an \u201copen\u201d facial expression with a bill held a little \u201cproud\u201d; a not especially strong bill; and darkish (pink-brown?) legs. It looked closest to a Two-barred Warbler<\/em>, but with a single narrow wing-bar… Another possibility might be Japanese Leaf Warbler<\/em>.<\/p>\n Eurasian Nuthatch <\/strong>\ub3d9\uace0\ube44. Apparently much more widespread and numerous than in usual winters (after seeing many apparently migrating south in Primorye in late September, might some of these be migrants from rather further north?). Several were feeding on a tree that was COVERED in insects, in a mixed flock that contained several Japanese Pygmy Woodpecker<\/strong>, Goldcrest<\/strong>, Eastern Great Tit<\/strong> and Coal Tit <\/strong>(see images below).<\/p>\n And finally,<\/p>\n Red-billed Starling<\/strong>\ubd89\uc740\ubd80\ub9ac\ucc0c\ub974\ub808\uae30. A flock of sixteen in Daejin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bird News from Nial Moores Three wet (!) days counting birds in and around Daejin\/ Goseong as part of research with the Hanns Seidel Foundation in very unseasonal weather (mild, with high of 10-12C and heavy rain through much of … read more<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":17060,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17065","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bird-sightings"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.birdskoreablog.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17065","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.birdskoreablog.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.birdskoreablog.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.birdskoreablog.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.birdskoreablog.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=17065"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.birdskoreablog.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17065\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17070,"href":"https:\/\/www.birdskoreablog.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17065\/revisions\/17070"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.birdskoreablog.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/17060"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.birdskoreablog.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=17065"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.birdskoreablog.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=17065"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.birdskoreablog.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=17065"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"nov13-wwscoter-rs2\"](\"https:\/\/www.birdskoreablog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/nov13-wwscoter-rs2.jpg\")
