Dryoscopus cubla
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, July, 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: 16 squares of 25 km carry records for Black-backed Puffback in and around iSimangaliso Wetland Park, and the 13,367 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 Garden Route National Park are among 20 atlas places where the Black-backed Puffback is recorded. Records of this bird concentrate most heavily in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Zambia, with about 150,000 open records across ten countries. This map shows where those records gather.
Of the 103 species with an atlas page recorded in and around iSimangaliso Wetland Park, the Black-backed Puffback is the 3rd most recorded.
