A recent birding trip to the National Science Complex in UP Diliman's National Capital Region of the Philippines yielded an exciting array of bird species. On August 25, a group of 10 bird enthusiasts led by Jorge De Ramos ventured into the area and were able to spot 13 different birds over the course of 1 hour and 51 minutes.

The expedition covered a distance of 1.54 kilometers. The participants were able to observe a range of birds, including the Collared Kingfisher, which was seen in the company of three other individuals. Four Coppersmith Barbets were spotted, as well as a single Philippine Pygmy Woodpecker.

Other notable sightings included a Golden-bellied Gerygone with four individuals observed, and a Black-naped Oriole with eight seen in total. A large group of 16 Yellow-vented Bulbuls was also observed. Other species spotted included unidentified swiftlets, a single Philippine Hanging-Parrot, a White-breasted Woodswallow, a Long-tailed Shrike, a Philippine Pied-Fantail, a Philippine Jungle Crow, a Crested Myna, and a Garden Sunbird.

The trip served as a valuable opportunity for the participants to explore the local bird life and contribute to the understanding of the region's avifauna.
