| South Korea is increasingly becoming known as one of the top birdwatching
countries in the northern hemisphere with fantastic concentrations of wintering
waterbirds, a great range of migrants, including a unique mix of mainland Asian
and Japanese species, and some really special breeding species. |

Baikal Teal flock at Seosan. Over 90% of the world's Baikal Teal winter
in Korea. Here 200 000 are flighting out in the evening to feed in rice-fields,
creating one of the best birdwatching spectacles in the world. |

With a great road and public transport system, a rich culture and a varied
landscape (ranging from spent volcanoes to some of the world's widest
tidal-flats), Korea is a safe and accessible yet exciting and largely
undiscovered birdwatcher's destination, attracting ever-increasing interest.
Whether on a birding tour or traveling independently, whether you have two weeks
or only a few hours to spare, these pages are designed to help point you in the
right direction.
Best of birding!
