Becoming a Gull-Watcher in Winter | South Korea Birding
January 23rd, 2019 Nick To say that gull watching is an acquired taste would be to ignore the fact that many birders never do acquire the taste.

Winter Wildfowl | South Korea Birding
January 18th, 2019 Nick Having recently returned from leading my third winter birding tour to South Korea I have some time to reflect on different aspects of this excellent trip.

East Coast Gulls | South Korea Birding
January 30th, 2017 Nick Earlier this week, as part of our winter birding tour of South Korea, we spent a few days travelling down the East coast of this East Asian country, stopping in many harbours and bays to look for seabirds and a number of gull species. The sheer numbers of gulls was mind-blowing, with around 50000 in [...]

Watching Cranes in the Citizen Controlled Zone | South Korea Birding
January 22nd, 2017 Nick One of the highlights of winter birding in South Korea is birding near the DMZ, specifically watching cranes emerge in the morning.
