Himantopus himantopus
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 Black-winged Stilt in and around Yala National Park, and the 3,698 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, Table Mountain National Park and Garden Route National Park are among the 12 atlas places where the Black-winged Stilt is recorded. Records concentrate in Taiwan, Spain, India, Portugal and France. The atlas holds about 597,000 open records of this bird from 31 countries, and the map shows where these records concentrate.
Of the 15 species with an atlas page recorded in and around Yala National Park, the Black-winged Stilt is the most recorded.
