NSS Butterfly Guide App |
Last month, on the 26 May, Shayna, Zek Min and I went to participate in the Mini Bird and Butterfly Race organised by Nature Society (Singapore) (NSS) to celebrate the launch of the NSS Bird and Butterfly iPhone App during the Biodiversity Festival and to trail run these applications. These iPad/iPhone applications developed by the NSS aid users in identifying bird and butterfly species and also keeping records of sightings.

We had a jolly good time, made loads of delightful new friends and grew to appreciate the stunning beauty Mother Nature has bestowed upon us.
We did not win, but it was an enjoyable experience and although we are still a little iffy on the use of binoculars, we did learn a fair bit about identifying birds and butterflies.
We would like to express our gratitude toward the Nature Society for organizing the race and giving us the oppurtunity to participate, and for creating the apps which will be a tremendous help to the public in identifying butterflies and so doing spread awareness about them. Especial thanks goes out to the representatives of the Nature Society who facilitated the race and who managed to put up with us and who, more importantly, pulled the entire event off beautifully.

The next day, Zek Min and Yuexin went to help out @ the booth at Botanic Garden to promote the application (and teach them how to use it) to the public:
