Batis molitor
Drawn from open occurrence records in and around Hluhluwe-iMfolozi 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, 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: 4 squares of 25 km carry records for Chinspot Batis in and around Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park, and the 1,710 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 National Park, iSimangaliso Wetland Park and Aberdare National Park are among 22 atlas places where the Chinspot Batis is recorded. Its records concentrate in South Africa, Kenya and Zimbabwe, and the map follows where they gather most thickly. There are about 116,000 open records for this bird from 12 countries, including Zambia and Uganda.
Of the 53 species with an atlas page recorded in and around Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park, the Chinspot Batis is the 10th most recorded.
