On a sunny morning of August 25, 2025, Sherlyn Laguardia embarked on a birdwatching excursion to Brgy. Sto. Nino in Quezon City. Over the span of an hour and four minutes, she managed to spot an impressive array of bird species in the area.

The birdwatching party observed a total of 9 different species, with some notable mentions including the Collared Kingfisher, which was spotted three times during the trip. This medium-sized kingfisher is a common sight in urban environments and is known for its distinctive call.

Another interesting sighting was the Golden-bellied Gerygone, a small passerine bird that was observed by Sherlyn. This species is often found in woodlands and forests, but has also been known to inhabit urban areas.

The area also appears to be a haven for the Pacific Swallow, with 5 individuals spotted during the trip. This migratory bird is a common sight in the Philippines, and is often found near water sources.

The Yellow-vented Bulbul was the most abundant species spotted during the trip, with an impressive count of 24 individuals. This species is known for its loud, melodic calls and is often found in urban gardens and parks.

Other notable sightings included the White-breasted Woodswallow, the Philippine Pied-Fantail, the Philippine Jungle Crow, the Black-naped Oriole, the Asian Glossy Starling, and the Golden-bellied Gerygone.

The successful trip is a testament to Sherlyn's dedication to birdwatching and her ability to spot a wide variety of species in a relatively short period of time.
