Had a great day out birding today.. Added 5 new birds to my list! I happened to run into a couple for South Africa who were also out birding. I spent most of the day with them.. I think I'll go out with them again sometime. They're pretty cool. They both have degrees in biology and spent two years in the Amazon doing wildlife guiding before coming to Korea.
The only problem is that I got a wicked sunburn on my face and arms. I left the house at 9:30 and didn't get in until around 8:00. It's the start of the fall migration season here in South Korea and It was good to get out and see the new arrivals. The 2 highlights of the day were seeing a Brown Hawk Owl and a group of about 40 black-faced spoonbills. I was a little disappointed that I didn't get a picture of the brown hawk owl, but I got lots of pics of the 40 black-faced spoonbills. That flock makes up more than 1% of the world population. It is one of the rarest birds in the world. There was also a peregrine falcon chasing shore birds around the lagoon I was at. Other highlights were a blue and white flycatcher, greenshanks, great cormorants and black-tailed godwits. All in all it was a pretty good day.

I published that picture of the brown slug on a slug forum and found out that the black spot on its back is a photo receptor, like a third eye. Also some guy from Brazil wants me to send him some slugs in a jar. There must be some law against that I'm thinking. I don't think I'll be doing that!!
Ha ha..only you would get a request like that Dean! Excellent pictures by the way, it was worth the wait! :)
