𝐁𝐄𝐑 𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐇𝐒 𝐍𝐀, 𝐌𝐆𝐀 𝐁𝐄𝐒𝐇! 🎄👀
You know what that means.
“Whenever…” 🎶 Yup, got you singin' right there on cue. 😂
But while most of us are busy mentally preparing for Christmas parties, inaanak duties, exchange gifts, at “last Christmas na talaga ‘to” spending, birdwatchers are looking forward to something else:
𝐌𝐈𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘 𝐁𝐈𝐑𝐃𝐒 𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐆!🐦✨
Yazz. Bird season is officially seasoning. 🫶
As winter starts creeping in across the Northern Hemisphere, thousands of birds begin their long journey south, with some coming from as far as Siberia and Alaska in search of food and warmer climes. These remarkable travelers can cover thousands of kilometers, crossing countries and seas along the 𝐄𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐀𝐬𝐢𝐚𝐧–𝐀𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐅𝐥𝐲𝐰𝐚𝐲 (EAAF)—one of the world’s major bird migration routes.
And yes, the Philippines is part of that flyway. 🇵🇭
Along the way, these feathered travelers need places to stop, rest, feed, and regain energy before continuing their epic journey. One of these important stopover sites is the Las Piñas–Parañaque Wetland Park (LPPWP). 🌿🌊🐦
But mind you, their stopover is not a vacation destination! It’s a 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧!
Kaya this Ber season, let’s give our feathered visitors the best welcome possible:
Help keep our wetlands—their home away from home—clean and safe. Practice Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle in our homes, schools, and workplaces, and make sure that no trash ever gets to our waterways, LPPWP, and Manila Bay!
