Scaly-breasted Munia


This little guy was a common sight in Taiwan, but I almost crapped my pants when I saw a few of them in a small field, minutes from my hovel. This is only the 4th time they've been seen in Korea, and the first since 2003. Yay birds!

  2. Tried to show a Korean birding friend the Scaly-breasted yesterday, and no luck. Tiny.
