Plegadis falcinellus
Drawn from open occurrence records in and around Kakadu 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, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December, with the widest coverage in January, 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: 1 square of 25 km carry records for Glossy Ibis in and around Kakadu National Park, and the 1,202 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, Amboseli and Chobe are three atlas places where the Glossy Ibis is recorded. Records concentrate in the United States, India, Spain, Israel and Portugal, with about 779,000 open records across 20 countries. This map shows where those records gather.
Of the 2 species with an atlas page recorded in and around Kakadu National Park, the Glossy Ibis is the 2nd most recorded.
