Streptopelia semitorquata
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: 5 squares of 25 km carry records for Red-eyed Dove in and around Garden Route National Park, and the 11,546 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, iSimangaliso and Addo Elephant National Park are among 25 atlas places where the Red-eyed Dove is recorded. Its records concentrate in South Africa, Uganda and Kenya, though it is also recorded in Zimbabwe and Zambia. There are about 330,000 records of this bird in the atlas across 16 countries. Because the map shows where these records gather, it represents a partial view of its distribution.
Of the 80 species with an atlas page recorded in and around Garden Route National Park, the Red-eyed Dove is the 6th most recorded.
