Cecropis abyssinica
Drawn from open occurrence records in and around iSimangaliso Wetland 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, February, March, 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: 12 squares of 25 km carry records for Lesser Striped Swallow in and around iSimangaliso Wetland Park, and the 9,629 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 the Serengeti are among the 22 atlas places where the Lesser Striped Swallow is recorded.
