A January 29 birding trip in Batangas yielded a notable count of wading birds and a glimpse into the region's diverse avifauna. Mark David De Guzman was at Lian, Batangas, observing the local bird population for 40 minutes.

During the birding trip, a Pacific Reef-Heron, Little Egret, Medium Egret, and Collared Kingfisher were among the species observed. These sightings provide an interesting glimpse into the bird species that inhabit this region of the Philippines.

Further observation is needed to better understand the local bird population, potentially yielding information necessary for effective wildlife conservation and management.
