Quelea quelea
Drawn from open occurrence records in and around Etosha National Park, aggregated onto a 25 km grid. A cell is matched by its centre, which can sit up to 16 km outside the boundary, so this covers the surrounding country too.
Occurrence records measure where people looked and found something, which is not the same as where the animal is. This is a relative likelihood, not a probability.
Records exist for January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December, with the widest coverage in March, April, May, June, July, August, October, November and December. A quiet month can mean the animal was absent, or that nobody was looking.
A grid cell is a square of the map, not a sighting: 5 squares of 25 km carry records for Red-billed Quelea in and around Etosha National Park, and the 9,828 records behind them were collected by other people and published openly. Nothing here counts animals, and a place with more records is not always a place with more animals.
Kruger National Park, Etosha National Park and uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park are among the 19 atlas places where the Red-billed Quelea is recorded. Records concentrate in South Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Botswana and Zambia, and the map follows where these occurrences gather. The atlas holds about 309,000 records of the bird across 14 countries.
Of the 39 species with an atlas page recorded in and around Etosha National Park, the Red-billed Quelea is the most recorded.
