Baikal Teal (Duck) is Korea's representative winter migratory bird.
Living in Siberia and Sakhalin, Russia
It spends the Winter in the south of Korea and heads north in the spring.
About 600,000 to 800,000 teals, and about 95% of the world spends the winter in Korea.
It starts to move around sunset in the evening.
They perform group dances while creating various shapes.
A group dance that sweeps the sky like ink lines in an ink painting.
It is a magnificent symphony like an abstract oriental painting.
