A team from the Conservation and Development Division (CDD) of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) in Region 6 was fortunate to have spotted the Glossy ibis (Plegadis falcinellus) for the second time during the bird watching and bird counting activity at Hinactacan wetlands in LaPaz, Iloilo and in Tubigan, Zarraga, Iloilo province, respectively. On February 2, 2021 the Glossy ibis (a very rarely seen migratory bird in the country) was found feeding, wading and flapping its wings in the wetlands of Hinactacan, LaPaz district during the bird watching activity in celebration of the World Wetlands Day.
