Ardea intermedia
Drawn from open occurrence records in and around Yala 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: 2 squares of 25 km carry records for Intermediate Egret in and around Yala National Park, and the 2,738 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.
Table Mountain National Park is the single atlas place where the Intermediate Egret is recorded. Its records gather most thickly in India, Taiwan, Thailand, Sri Lanka and China. The atlas holds about 342,000 open records of this bird from 15 countries, and the map follows where they concentrate. Because it is recorded in both hemispheres, seasons differ by region and each place page shows the months recorded there.
Of the 15 species with an atlas page recorded in and around Yala National Park, the Intermediate Egret is the 4th most recorded.
