Tringa stagnatilis
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, July, August, September, October, November and December, with the widest coverage in January, February, March, April, 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 Marsh Sandpiper in and around Yala National Park, and the 2,212 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.
Garden Route National Park, Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Hell's Gate National Park are among the 17 atlas places where the Marsh Sandpiper is recorded. Its records concentrate in Taiwan, India, Australia, Israel and Thailand, with about 176,000 records across 39 countries. This map follows where those records gather most thickly.
Of the 15 species with an atlas page recorded in and around Yala National Park, the Marsh Sandpiper is the 5th most recorded.
