Birds around Seoul
Seoul, South Korea
Every measure here is worked out per 5 degree square, so this covers the wider area around Seoul (35° to 40° latitude, 125° to 130° longitude, about 550 km across), not the city alone. Counts are shares of all birds records in the same weeks, so busier stations do not inflate them (methods).
