All of them were migrants staying during\nmid-winter in Izumi, Japan. While many fed along the banks of a flooded rice\npaddy, a habit they seem to have learned in Izumi, by the mid-morning they all\nhad flown of to rice paddies. <\/li><li>2 Ruddy Shelducks <\/li><li>Around 10.000 Black-tailed\ngulls<\/li><li>2 White-tailed Sea Eagle<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Isanpo Tidal area: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>185 Swan Goose<\/li><li>5 White-tailed Sea Eagle<\/li><li>2500 Black-tailed gulls<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The citizen monitoring is an ongoing\nendeavor since 2004. By the afternoon, the count team counted on the whole\nstretch more than 16.500 Common Pochards, 12.500 Black-tailed gulls and 10.000\nVega gulls plus 2500 Mallards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One issue of concern is the planned construction of a new town on the other side of the road. Eco-Korea proposes as buffer zone between the residential areas and the road. If not, high rises may directly look over the wetlands, with the great danger of reducing further necessary habitat and resting zones\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.birdskoreablog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Pic-1-White-naped-crane-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23118\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.birdskoreablog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Pic-1-White-naped-crane-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.birdskoreablog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Pic-1-White-naped-crane-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.birdskoreablog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Pic-1-White-naped-crane-1-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.birdskoreablog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Pic-1-White-naped-crane-1-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption>White-naped cranes <em>Grus vipio<\/em> feeding along the bank of a flooded rice paddy rather than roosting in it \u2013 this seems to be a habit they have contracted in Izumi, Japan, where they are fed along the banks of the paddies \u00a9 Bernhard Seliger<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.birdskoreablog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Pic-2-White-naped-cranes-flying-off.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23117\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.birdskoreablog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Pic-2-White-naped-cranes-flying-off.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.birdskoreablog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Pic-2-White-naped-cranes-flying-off-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.birdskoreablog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Pic-2-White-naped-cranes-flying-off-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.birdskoreablog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Pic-2-White-naped-cranes-flying-off-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption>White-naped cranes <em>Grus vipio<\/em> flying off.
