Common Sandpiper

Actitis hypoleucos

Overview

Kruger National Park is the atlas place where the Common Sandpiper is recorded, with records gathering most thickly in Taiwan, Norway, Spain, India and Belgium. The atlas holds about 640,000 open records of this bird across 32 countries. Because this map is built from open data, it shows where records concentrate rather than the full range.

Recorded months differ by region because this species appears in both hemispheres. Each place page in the atlas shows the particular months it is recorded there.

These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Common Sandpiper as much as where it lives. The atlas keeps a species' 200 best-recorded grid cells, so the map shows where records concentrate rather than its whole range. Cells are up to 25 km across, and every location is generalised to its cell.
