reed bed and shallow pools. The Haenam region is
most probably the most important wintering area
for waterfowl nationwide with an estimated 300,000
plus individuals and 7 species in internationally
important concentrations (as defined by the Ramsar
Convention). The most significant of these is the
Baikal Teal Anas Formosa. 168,000 were counted in
January 1999. 160% of the suspected world population!

most of the waterfowl this winter are concentrated
into a few hundred hectares of Yongam Lake, at Danduri.
