On a drizzly afternoon, a single observer, EDP Liuag, set out to document the birdlife in Ilaya, San Pablo City, Laguna. Despite the overcast weather, the observer managed to spot 4 different bird species in a 50-minute stationary session.

The birds observed included a lone Zebra Dove, which is a common resident species in the Philippines. Two Yellow-vented Bulbuls were seen flitting through the area, while one Red-keeled Flowerpecker was documented. The Eurasian Tree Sparrow, a species native to Europe and Asia, was also spotted in pairs.

It's a notable sighting for the Eurasian Tree Sparrow in the area, which may indicate the presence of European influences on the local bird population. However, further research is needed to confirm this theory.
