Our newest journey to the rice fields alongside the Han River estuary (Musunsanseong to Yudo islet; rice fields West of Aegibong, Siam wetland) introduced some good views of waders within the newly-planted rice fields, although not in giant numbers, in addition to different typical summer time birds, particularly egrets.
You’ll find the entire lists right here:

Notable have been two Black-tailed Godwits and an sudden Garganey amongst a bunch of Spot-billed Geese in Siam wetland. Additionally, there have been good views of Wooden Sandpipers within the rice fields, in addition to Frequent Greenshanks, Frequent Sandpipers and Black-faced Spoonbills. Within the rice fields all types of egrets and herons (Nice, Medium and Little in addition to fairly a couple of Cattle Egrets, Grey Heron in addition to one Black-crowned Night time Heron, and Chinese language Pond Herons), with solely the Striated Heron lacking. Surprisingly no name from Oriental Reed Warblers, and no kingfishers – perhaps as a result of quickly deteriorating habitat?
