  I have been on Geoje-do for almost a month now, and I've yet to see a Blue Rock Thrush. This strikes me as odd, as this island seems to possess a solid array of suitable coastal habitat. On Jeju-do, I saw these active and outgoing birds perched very regularly year round, even in parks and in the city, and once hunting in the indoor parking garage at a Home Plus (a large department store)!
  I'm getting a motorcycle soon, so hopefully I'll find where these guys are hiding on Geoje as my range expands.
