I had a 5 hour layover in South Korea, a place I've never been, to get as many lifers as possible. Can ya'll check my work? (5 Viewers)

Thanks for any help! I was extremely excited to birdwatch in Korea. I rented a car and went to Sorae Wetland Eco Park in Incheon. Perfect weather. Lots of stares from the elderly locals haha. Had a great time.

I think Large billed crow. Maybe Carrion Crow. They look the same to me.


Little Bunting - the tree cast shadows which made this one difficult for me.


Asian Tit or Coal tit


Eastern Spot Billed Duck


Female Pallas's Bunting


Varied Tit. Though I'm unsure because it's never been recorded on ebird at this location in April.


I'm at a loss for this one. Maybe Oriental Greenfinch


Black Headed Gull


Spotted Redshank


Whimbrel


Great Cormorant


Black Tailed Gull


Brown Eared Bulbul


I think Great Egret, but it doesn't look like the ones back where I'm from in America.

Forgot one. Looks like Terek sandpiper on the far left. Common Greenshank in the middle. And one Common Redshank on the right.

Large-billed crow. V thick bill. Steep forehead

Asian Tit or Coal tit

Asian tit. Coal tit looks quite different

Yes (e.g. gape extends beyond eye). Different (sub)species

Thanks! So everything else looks good?

Not sure. Can't comment on the bunting. Images of oriental greenfinch suggest it should have a pale bill (even immatures) but yours has a dark bill. I don't have a better suggestion. Central rear wader is not redshank, greenshank. Unsure what it is: supercilium should be wrong for terek; asian dowitcher should have duller legs but might fit otherwise.

OP was asking about wader(s) on far left, which look good for Terek Sands

yes and I'm commenting on the one in the centre. The ones on the left are clearly tereks [you'll note I also didn't comment on various other birds in the original post]

 

[Southern Viking]

I got the impression from post 4 that the lack of comments on some was causing confusion for the OP (never mind the one they drew attention to), but fair enough

 

[foresttwitcher]

Eastern Spot-billed Duck, Varied Tit, Black-headed Gull, Spotted Redshank, Whimbrel & Brown-eared Bulbul all good.

I think Black-tailed Gull is correct and can't really see an alternative for the Greenfinch.

 

[sicklebill]

Agree with Oriental Greenfinch, and I think the second bunting is Chestnut-eared not Pallas'

 

[johnallcock]

I'm pretty sure the Greenfinch must be correct - you can see yellow in the wings and tail, which should rule out most other species, but I agree the dark bill is unusual.

I agree with the buntings - Little for bird 2 and Pallas's for bird 5 (small bill, longish tail, unstreaked underparts, obvious malar and pale upperparts).

The waders in post #2 are four Terek Sand, 2 Common Greenshank and a Common Redshank. The bird in the centre back (behind the Greenshank) is a Terek - that supercilium pattern is typical (compare to the sleeping bird on the left) and the orange legs and size are right.

I agree with the rest. Looks like you did well for a 5 hour layover!
