Merci beaucoup !😁

[@arthropsida1997]

Un petit exposé sur le rapace endémique de l'île ! Pile ce qu'il me fallait :D Effectivement c'est compliqué de savoir si ce sont des individus différents dans ces conditions.

[@SebEyes]

Eheh 😉
Effectivement, pas difficile d'identifier l'espèce, mais plus difficile d'identifier les individus...

[@AirViewChannel]

Très intéressant, mais du coup plusieurs observateurs situés à différents endroits de l'île peuvent en faite comptabilisé le même oiseau plusieurs fois

[@SebEyes]

Merci ! 😁
Effectivement, ça peut être possible vu que ces oiseaux sont assez mobiles. Mais cette déviation dans le comptage est limitée par la distribution spatiale des observateurs et un comptage simultané 😉
Le résultat du comptage reste une estimation, qu'on essaye d'avoir la plus précise possible 😁👍
