Five spoonbill species are known worldwide, with two species present in Korea: the black-faced spoonbill and the Eurasian Spoonbill (Platalea leucorodia). The black-faced spoonbill breeds in China, Korea, and other regions, wintering in Japan, Taiwan, and Hainan Island of China. Both spoonbill species are endangered rare species designated and protected as natural monuments. The black-faced spoonbill breeding site was first discovered in South Korea in July 1999 at Seokdo and Bido islands in Ganghwa County, subsequently designated as Natural Monument Ganghwa Tidal Flats and Black-faced Spoonbill Breeding Site on July 6, 2000.
