Malaysian wetland is important in sustaining a diverse range of avian communities by providing continuous food sources for them. A study ran from July till September 2018 in Tanjung Laboh, Batu Pahat Johor with the main objective to list out species of bird presence within the coastal line, pond and grassland ecosystem. In total, 30 species from 15 families of birds were observed. Three of them listed Vulnerable under the IUCN red list including Lesser adjutant (Leptoptilos javanicus), Large Green-pigeon (Treron capellei), and Javan Myna (Acridotheres javanicus). Tanjung Laboh shoreline structured with intertidal mudflat and mangrove ecosystem sustain large numbers of waterbirds were dominated mainly by Common Redshank (Tringa totanus) followed by Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea) and Kentish Plover (Charadrius alexandrinus). While for pond, natural pond favoured more for the bird to live in as compared to the man-made pond with the highest individual observation = 702 observations. Ponds in Tanjung Laboh house a huge group of Pacific Swallow (Hirundo tahitica) indicates a high presence of insects, the main food sources for them. Further survey on avian diversity in the wetland is in need in order to quantify the remaining optimal ecosystem for the avian community of wetland © 2021. ASM Science Journal.All Rights Reserved.
