Birds of the Yellow Sea

- The intertidal mudflats of the Yellow Sea contain the most important stopover sites for migratory shorebirds in the East Asian-Australasian Flyway - a flyway that has transported birds from breeding grounds in the Russian and Alaskan Arctic to wintering areas in Southern Asia, Australia and New Zealand for hundreds of thousands of years. The productivity of the Yellow Sea’s mudflats and the food they provide to migratory birds are critical to the survival of many species.
This film provides a primer on the basic biological principles of migratory shorebird ecology and why the Yellow Sea is a critical international hub for bird migration.
Film is also available in Korean, Mandarin, Japanese and Russian.
Filmed and narrated by Gerrit Vyn

There is a Russian proverb dedicated to these birds: every sandpiper praises its swamp. Thank you very much for your work.
I moved to Ithaca in 1964 and was stunned to discover the Lab! 2 miles from my home and was able to rear my children to love and understand the beauty of birds and also to lead my G.S. troops in the same experience. The grad students met them early on Sat. mornings to explore and learn!
My son is now a bird photographer! It has been so exciting to see how the Lab. has grown! thank you SO much!
Really wonderful. Thank you, Mr. Vyn, for putting on the chest waders and lying in the muck, and walking the tundra, to get such amazing footage. Things I will never get to see in my lifetime except through your lens. Thank you so much!
Wonderful filming of these beautiful and most vulnerable birds!
I never realized that so many of these migrating birds depend on these mudflats. Thank you, Cornell, for keeping people from all parts of the globe informed through TH-cam.

My compliments to this devoted photographer. Thank you for your comittment to these beautiful birds.
Even though the video is so old, it's still a great watch. Great craftsmanship
Absolutely fantastic videography.
Watching this video again years later, I realize this is one of the video that got me started on loving birds and becoming a bird watcher.
Absolutely enthralling. Marvellous visuals and narration.
Absolutely fascinating video! Thank you for creating and posting this.
The Birds of the Yellow Sea was a great video to watch. I enjoyed it very much.
Thank you!
Everything about this production is fantastic. Thanks.
Amazing video, just fantastic! Thank you Cornell!
Incredible videography. I respect the amount of dedication that goes into filming a video like this and sharing such a heartfelt story of the incredible journeys of these birds.
Thank you for filming and presenting this!!!!
Beautiful wonderful yet fragile nature
What a fantastic piece. Great story telling and so very interesting.
Simply beautiful. Both the filming but of course mostly all these wonderful birds. 😍
Wow! Thank you for this A++ show about these very precious and beautiful birds. They are such exquisite and perfect beings. Bless them all.
Lovely birds and great footage. Thanks for the content.
Thank you for this beautiful and amazing view of the shore birds. As I watched it and kept thinking: "If only humans would learn to share the world as these birds do. Borders mean nothing to them!"
Great recording
Awesome footage 👏 Shorebirds are fascinating!
This is not just a unusual record. The photographer also has a very good sense of art!
Beautiful photography - and fascinating information. How wonderful to have such a job as is yours ! One can only hope that the Yellow Sea area does not become too polluted to enable these birds to thrive. I have to say that I am surprised that anywhere in China / East Asia is actually ok for birdlife .... Long may it continue 🥰
I've always respected the fact that nature is amazing and even more for those who care.

That was a very rare and wonderful video. I enjoyed watching it.
love those turnstones, godwits and sandpipers. Have to get up to Alaska sometime. those migration maps were amazing as well.
I love this video so much! Fantastic views of all those species. Really, really beautiful, thank you for making this. I especially love the spoon billed sandpipers!!

charming videos!
Hace unos años que pude ver por primera vez este vídeo y me pareció increíble. Hoy lo vuelvo a ver y sigo emocionado de la biodiversidad de esa zona del mar amarillo en concreto. Como amante de las limícolas o aves playeras como las llamaos, en este rincón del planeta me perdería, vamos que me quedo días y días fotografiando y sobre todo disfrutando, que maravilla. Me recuerda este verano pasado en el este de España, en el mediterraneo disfrutando con una especie típica de la zona, el chorlitejo patinegro-Charadrius alexandrinus. Pude fotografiar todo el período reproductor al completo, cópulas, puestas, pollos, alimentación, etc etc. Un saludo desde España.
This is the best video about birds I’ve seen.
Wow BEAUTIFUL birds
Amazing work, the conservation of the yellow sea's spots are crusial for the prevalence of these species.
More people should see this great work.
Beautiful documentation
stunning recording!
A really good video of birds , A truely ,a video that\s worth watching or bookmark!!!! Thanks
This is incredibly well done!
That was a great video! More like this.
fantastic
Super exceptional
Great video.!
서해 갯벌을 다큐멘터리로 볼 수 있어서 기쁩니다.
한국의 동해안에 살고 있는 새들도 보고 싶어요.
Thank you for your video.
Magnifique vidéo...
birds are amazing
great film material! keep it up !
Wonderful video.
Incredible! Thank you!
Amazing footage from the Spoon-billed sandpiper!
Beautiful ty
i m ur big fan 🥰
It was extra ordinary ❤️
That sound was almost as haunting as that of a Loon. The tenacity and habits of these tiny creatures is mind boggling!
What fantastic filmography! Scary to think that habitat loss through land reclamation (eg in South Korea) in the Yellow Sea could lead to the extinction of some of these species. :/
Wow great video
Great work!
Regards,
Marko
thankyou very much. i love this video
super work
As close to a perfect short documentary as is possible.
Amazing!!! Thank you.
Kind regards from Holland
amazing and soooo cute, love it
absolutely beautiful, hopefully one day I can visit these places and go on a bird-watching trip around the world.
me to man
Gorgeous! Great love for this♥ Thank you for this masterwork!
This is a wonderful video. I've never seen these bird's before.
So beautiful!
Only just stumbled across this video, but it's really great. Makes me want to go to the Yellow Sea! (At the appropriate time of year.) Really nice to find videos that aren't trying to make animals Super Cool for people who aren't otherwise interested, even if that's a noble goal - just tell me facts and share your fantastic videography. Thank you!
Amazing story in the planet Earth, which we know about so little seemingly!
Thanks for that precious knowledge!
Nicely done!
Radio Australia program Off Track has a good 4 part series/podcast called "Flying For Your Life". Informative, emotional and explains the trouble some of the migrating shore birds experience due to coastal development.
Margaret Parkes -- would you please post a link? Sounds like a very informative series; never heard of it elsewhere. Thank you, greetings from the USA.
Amazing how each species have bills evolved to their specialized prey and foraging techniques
Fantastic. Loved it.
This is amazing, I like shore bird too
fascinating!
The person who is allowed to and can see all this is so incredibly privileged. It's hard work with regular hardships I suppose. I only mention the plague of mosquitoes. But despite these things, it remains an unprecedented privilege. Been to Siberia twice. Once in the Lena Delta and once in the Indigirka Delta. I will never forget those two trips in my entire life.
