Abstract:
A total of 88 bird species were observed during our stay in the Democratic People´s Republic of Korea from 4 June to 16 July 1983. The most interesting observations concern the common occurrence of the species so far regarded as rare in Korean Peninsula (e. g., Accipiter soloensis, Falco subbuteo, Cuculus saturatus, Dendrocopos kizuki and Phylloscopus tennelipes) and confirm the occurrence in the breeding season of the species whose status in that country had not hitherto been elucidated (e. g., Turdus chrysolaus, Turdus hortulorum, Muscicapa latirostris, Parus montanus, Carpadacus rosaeus, Zosterops erythropleura and Phylloscopus trochiloides). Descriptions of nest sites are given for 6 bird species.
