The Taiwan Waders Study Group has been flagging and recording flagged waders since 1997, and we are grateful to reproduce here all the sightings of Korean flagged waders in Taiwan to date.
In the following table, all sightings of Korean-flagged shorebirds are recorded.
Weiting LUI of the TWSG has commented additionally that whilst 19 Korean-flagged birds have been seen in Taiwan, only 6 Japanese-flagged birds have been noted - and just 2 Taiwan-flagged birds have been seen in Japan. The TWSG have flagged over 1500 birds, and it does appear that many of them may pass through Korea. Weiting asks that Korean birders look out in particular for Taiwan-flagged Dunlins and Kentish Plovers.
Any sightings of Taiwan-flagged shorebirds in Korea can be reported to us, and we will be delighted to pass them on.
