In a morning birding trip along the Makati Diversion Channel, local birder EDP Liuag spotted a variety of bird species during an 11-minute observation period.

The trip, which covered a distance of 1 kilometer, yielded four notable bird species. The most frequently seen birds were the Asian Glossy Starling and the Eurasian Tree Sparrow, with counts of 4 individuals each. The Zebra Dove and Yellow-vented Bulbul made appearances with 2 and 1 individuals, respectively.

The variety of species observed in this brief birding trip is a testament to the Makati Diversion Channel's significance as a habitat for urban wildlife. EDP Liuag's enthusiasm for the outing was evident, even if only brief. This trip serves as a reminder to take time to appreciate the natural world, even in the midst of urban environments.
