Vidua macroura
Drawn from open occurrence records in and around Queen Elizabeth 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 Pin-tailed Whydah in and around Queen Elizabeth National Park, and the 3,004 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, uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park and iSimangaliso Wetland Park are among the 19 atlas places where the Pin-tailed Whydah is recorded. Records concentrate most in South Africa, the United States and Uganda, and the map follows where these records gather. The atlas holds about 155,000 open records of this bird from 14 countries.
Of the 56 species with an atlas page recorded in and around Queen Elizabeth National Park, the Pin-tailed Whydah is the 4th most recorded.
