On a sunny afternoon in the Philippines, a group of bird enthusiasts spent 41 minutes observing the diverse birdlife at Taguines Lagoon in Mahinog, Camiguin. Led by Diuvs De Jesus, the group documented five species of birds in this wetland area.

Among the observed species, the Black-crowned Night Heron was perched, likely a solitary individual. The group also spotted a single Nankeen Night Heron, also seen perched. This sighting highlights the presence of night herons in the area, which prefer to forage for fish and insects in shallow water.

A Collared Kingfisher was seen flying in the vicinity, its distinctive call piercing through the air. The group also recorded a flock of Pacific Swallows, consisting of three individuals, darting in and out of their perching spots.

One of the most notable sightings was that of the Asian Glossy Starling, with 20 individuals counted during the observation period. This flock's presence suggests a possible roosting site in the area, where they may be gathering to rest and socialize.

The observation of these five species provides a glimpse into the diverse birdlife at Taguines Lagoon. The data collected will contribute to our understanding of the bird populations in this region and inform conservation efforts.
