Abstract:
The author observed 88 bird species during her stay in the People´s Democratic Republic of Korea from 19 May to 14 Jule 1980. Two of them, Numenius madagascariensis and Limosa limosa were probably still on migration. The nesting of 3 species (Loxia curvirostra, Pyrrhula pyrrhula and Erithacus akahige) is doubtful, while the remaining 83 species may be reckoned among breeding or probably breeding birds. Anas platyrhynchos, Pernis ptilorhyncus, Porzana fusca and Bradypterus thoracicus, are the most interesting of the species observed. Descriptions of nests or their sites are given for 12 species.
