Bird news from Subhojit Chakladar<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A short trip post Chuseok holidays. Weather was clear and sunny on 24th and cloudy on the remaining 2 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

September 24th<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ferry ride over calm seas with limited outside access produced only a handful of Streaked Shearwater<\/strong> and just outside of Socheong, a flock of ducks flying alongside the boat – mostly Common Pochard<\/strong> with a few Northern Shoveler<\/strong> mixed in. Evidence of very few birds, especially in the heat of mid day. Later in the afternoon, highlight was an Oriental Stork<\/strong> (with leg band marked H37) at the wetlands and an Eastern Marsh Harrier<\/strong>. There was also a few Crested Honey Buzzard<\/strong> circling overhead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

September 25th<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting early at the observatory near the harbor, a steady passage of birds overhead. Most common were Olive-backed Pipit<\/strong>, followed by Chinese Grosbeak<\/strong>, Red-throated Pipit<\/strong>, a few Richard’s Pipit<\/strong> and an unidentified species of bunting. There were also 3 flocks of Chestnut-flanked White-eye<\/strong>. The highlight of the day was a single flock of Crested Honey Buzzard<\/strong> numbering about 300 over the “Harrier Fields” at around 9:30am. In all about 450 birds were observed, mostly before 11:30. A Chinese Grey Shrike<\/strong> was seen in the fields in the north eastern part of the island. Quite a few Amur Falcon<\/strong> were also seen along with a Pied Harrier<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
