Batis molitor
Kruger National Park, iSimangaliso Wetland Park and Aberdare National Park are among 22 atlas places where the Chinspot Batis is recorded. Its records concentrate in South Africa, Kenya and Zimbabwe, and the map follows where they gather most thickly. There are about 116,000 open records for this bird from 12 countries, including Zambia and Uganda.
Records for Batis molitor run year-round, appearing in the atlas during every month.
Each bar is the share of its 200 month-dated grid cells with records in that month.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Chinspot Batis 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.
