Telophorus zeylonus
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, with the widest coverage in January, March, April, May, August, September, October 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: 12 squares of 25 km carry records for Bokmakierie in and around uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park, and the 6,223 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.
Table Mountain National Park, Addo Elephant National Park and the West Coast National Park are among the ten atlas places where the Bokmakierie is recorded. Records concentrate in South Africa, Lesotho, Eswatini and Namibia, and the map follows where these records gather. The atlas holds about 119,000 open records of this bird from four countries.
Of the 74 species with an atlas page recorded in and around uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park, the Bokmakierie is the 7th most recorded.
