A walk from Songdo to Sorae showed that still at least 3000-4000 shorebirds are in the area, among them most numerous Dunlins, Grey plovers, Whimbrels, Bar-tailed godwits, Great knots and Red-necked stints. Also, there were Common sandpipers, Ruddy turnstones, Mongolian plovers, Kentish plovers, Little ringed plovers, and Far Eastern oystercatchers, Saunders\u2019s gulls, and, among a group of Temminck’s cormorants there were five Black-faced spoonbills.<\/p>\n

A short visit to the breeding area of Black-faced spoonbills also brought into view a Siberian marten; a nice view, but given the chances that he or another carnivore might cross the shallow water to the breeding island of the spoonbills, somewhat alarming.<\/p>\n
