Motacilla capensis
Drawn from open occurrence records in and around Garden Route 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. 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: 6 squares of 25 km carry records for Cape Wagtail in and around Garden Route National Park, and the 12,775 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 15 atlas places where the Cape Wagtail is recorded. Its records concentrate in South Africa, Namibia, Lesotho, Uganda and Botswana. The atlas holds about 308,000 records of this bird from seven countries, and because its range is partial, the map tracks where these records gather.
Of the 80 species with an atlas page recorded in and around Garden Route National Park, the Cape Wagtail is the 3rd most recorded.
