Apus affinis
Kruger National Park, iSimangaliso Wetland Park and Table Mountain National Park are among 19 atlas places where the Little Swift is recorded. Its records concentrate in India, South Africa and Kenya, and the atlas holds about 257,000 records from 17 countries. Because the map follows where these records gather, it shows a partial view of the total range.
Recording seasons differ by region, and each place page shows the months when the bird is recorded there.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Little Swift 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.
Generalised encounter areas, not exact locations. Each shape is a grid cell coloured by how likely the species is there.
Conservation status not assessed here yet, so every location is generalised to its grid cell.
