Bird News from Bernhard Seliger<\/p>\n

While much degraded and suffering from the perennial noise of the Dongbukansondoro highway, for birders living and working in central Seoul it is a blessing to have places like Chungrangcheon. Monday 26, a walk from Oksu Station to the old stone bridge East of Eunbong Station brought the following results. The rather low numbers of ducks tend to increase strongly in colder weather, when other places are frozen.<\/p>\n
