Yongsu Reservoir and Dangsan-bong, May 8, 2023
  That’s what I yell at my knees when they ache after too much walking. Works sometimes.

  Yongsu Reservoir, another spot that brings back the mems. Still the feeling of a recent clear-out on the west coast, with 46 species on the day, and nothing in abundance. Smoggy out - builds up in your eyes (and in your SOUL). Of note, two Northern Shovelers, nine Garganey, and loads of Sand Martin overhead (50 or more today), outnumbering Barn Swallows.
