Cecropis cucullata
Drawn from open occurrence records in and around uKhahlamba-Drakensberg 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, September, October, November and December, with the widest coverage in January, February, March, 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: 14 squares of 25 km carry records for Greater Striped-Swallow in and around uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park, and the 6,363 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.
Addo Elephant, Table Mountain and Garden Route National Parks are among ten atlas places where the Greater Striped-Swallow is recorded. Records gather most thickly in South Africa, Lesotho, Namibia and Eswatini. The atlas holds about 141,000 records of this bird from four countries, and the map follows where they concentrate.
Of the 74 species with an atlas page recorded in and around uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park, the Greater Striped-Swallow is the 5th most recorded.
