April, Christal, Rayson, and Terence are monitoring along one of the transects in their school as the spotter, identifier, recorder, and photographer respectively.

As they begin their monitoring, they hear a Black-naped Oriole calling from a tree about 40 metres from the start of the transect. However, they are unable to spot the bird. Within the group, only April is able to identify the bird by its call. While Terence uses the school’s iPad to record an audio of the call for their teacher-in-charge to verify later, April insists that Rayson records one Black-naped Oriole has been observed. After Terence is done recording, they move further along the transect.

Throughout the remainder of the monitoring session, Christal and Terence are often moving behind April and Rayson by five metres. 60 metres into the transect, April hears a Black-naped Oriole calling from behind them and informs Rayson to record another Black-naped Oriole has been observed.

After the monitoring session, they verify with their teacher-in-charge that the audio recording is indeed the call of a Black-naped Oriole. They then consolidate their data and upload two Black-naped Orioles have been observed to their school’s NSS ESN project page on iNaturalist. However, they do not upload the audio recording as it has been verified.

A mix of brown, green and blue makes this bee-eater easy to identify. Adult Blue-throated Bee-eaters have mostly bluish green bodies with a dark chestnut crown, black eye stripe and namesake blue throat.
Diet and Behaviour
Its diet and behaviour are largely similar to that of the migratory Blue-tailed Bee-eater.
Where are they found?
This species differs from the migratory Blue-tailed Bee-eater in that it breeds in Singapore and disperses to Indonesia during the non-breeding season. They are mainly found in wooded areas and grasslands. This species is also present in many parts of Southeast Asia.
Did you know?
They practise asynchronous brooding, where chicks hatch at different times. This often results in siblicide, where the oldest and largest chick often competes with its younger siblings for food, usually wounding or even killing them.

Instead of moving as a group, Christal Terence moved 5 metres behind April and Rayson.

although the group was not able to get a picture of the bird , Terence recorded an audio of how the bird sounded like. and in the end , they were still able to identify what the bird was with just the audio.

The students should have moved together as a group.

After the group moved further down the transect, April heard the call of a Black-naped Oriole from behind her. She then asked Rayson to record that another Black-Naped Oriole had been recorded, but it could have been the call of the same Black-naped Oriole that the group saw earlier.

The students should not have counted the bird that was behind them.

The students should have uploaded the audio recording, even if it was verified.

The group did not upload the audio recording of the Black-naped Oriole, as it had already been verified.

# data[].attributes.body
They verified that the audio was the black-naped oriole with their teacher-in-charge.

They managed to record different birds auditory and visually. They also managed to verify the audio of the Black-Oriole.

During the monitoring session, Christal and Terence are moving behind April and Rayson by 5m when they were supposed to move close and tightly together as a group. April informed Rayson to record a Black-napes Oriole which she heard from behind them but they should not count birds they hear or sight from behind and should only count those in front of them. The team also did not upload the audio recording of the birds which they had verified and thus this data and information could not be shared with others.

The students should move together and should not have counted the bird behind them.
