On August 25, Diana Bautista ventured out to New Malolos City Hall in Bulacan, Philippines, to observe the local bird life. Her 56-minute survey turned up an impressive variety of species within a short distance of 0.08 miles.

Over the course of her observation, Diana recorded 17 different species, with some birds seen multiple times. Rock Pigeon (Feral Pigeon) held the top spot with 15 sightings, closely followed by Red Collared-Dove with 5 appearances.

Several waterbird species were observed, including White-breasted Waterhen and the two Egret species - Little Egret and Great Egret. The Purple Heron, a striking heron known for its reddish-purple plumage, was seen three times during the survey.

Birds of varying sizes and plumage were observed as well, such as the Chestnut Munia, which appeared 13 times, and the Eurasian Tree Sparrow, also seen 13 times. The Golden-bellied Gerygone, a small passerine bird, was observed twice, as was the Philippine Pied-Fantail, which is known for its distinctive black and white coloration.

Some notable raptors (birds of prey) recorded during the survey include the Long-tailed Shrike, which was seen once, and the Black-headed Gull, which made two appearances. Two species of bitterns were also observed: the Cinnamon Bittern and the Yellow Bittern.

Throughout her morning survey, Diana gained a glimpse into the diverse bird population in the New Malolos area, with various species representing different families and habitats.
