Ardea intermedia
Table Mountain National Park is the single atlas place where the Intermediate Egret is recorded. Its records gather most thickly in India, Taiwan, Thailand, Sri Lanka and China. The atlas holds about 342,000 open records of this bird from 15 countries, and the map follows where they concentrate. Because it is recorded in both hemispheres, seasons differ by region and each place page shows the months recorded there.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Intermediate Egret 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.
