Nordmann's greenshank is a medium-sized sandpiper, at 29–32 cm (11–13 in) long, with a slightly upturned, bicoloured bill, and relatively short yellow legs. Breeding adults have darker plumage than their non-breeding counterparts. These adults often appear boldly marked, with dark brown spangling on their back, chest, and head and a white underbelly.They have a heavily streaked head and upper neck; broad, blackish, crescentic spots on lower neck and breast; and darker lores.

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Nordmann's Greenshank sighting in Seoul on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 215th most-seen of the 231 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Nordmann's Greenshank in Seoul on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Only Seoul, in our data
Seoul is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Nordmann's Greenshank sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Nordmann's Greenshank is recorded against all the birds logged in Seoul (7 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
