Lybius torquatus
Drawn from open occurrence records in and around Zambezi 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: 3 squares of 25 km carry records for Black-collared Barbet in and around Zambezi National Park, and the 5,032 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 uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park are among twelve atlas places where the Black-collared Barbet is recorded. Its records concentrate in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Zambia, and the map shows where these sightings gather most thickly. There are about 194,000 open records of this bird across nine countries.
Of the 66 species with an atlas page recorded in and around Zambezi National Park, the Black-collared Barbet is the 5th most recorded.
