Alopochen aegyptiaca
Drawn from open occurrence records in and around Table Mountain 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: 4 squares of 25 km carry records for Egyptian Goose in and around Table Mountain National Park, and the 29,799 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, Garden Route National Park and Table Mountain National Park are among 21 atlas places where the Egyptian Goose is recorded. Its records concentrate in South Africa, the United States, the United Kingdom, Belgium and Germany. The atlas holds about 599,000 open records of this bird from 22 countries, and the map shows where these records gather.
Of the 99 species with an atlas page recorded in and around Table Mountain National Park, the Egyptian Goose is the most recorded.
