Lanius collaris
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, June, July, August, September, 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: 9 squares of 25 km carry records for Common Fiscal in and around uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park, and the 7,683 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.
uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park, Addo Elephant National Park and Garden Route National Park are among 12 atlas places where the Common Fiscal is recorded. Records concentrate in South Africa, Lesotho, Zimbabwe, Eswatini and Botswana, and the map follows where these records gather. The atlas holds about 267,000 records of Lanius collaris from five countries.
Of the 74 species with an atlas page recorded in and around uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park, the Common Fiscal is the 3rd most recorded.
