Calidris ferruginea
Table Mountain National Park, Dorob National Park and Namib-Naukluft are among nine atlas places where the Curlew Sandpiper is recorded. Its records concentrate in Australia, South Africa and Spain, and the atlas holds about 189,000 records of Calidris ferruginea across 38 countries. Because this map is based on open records, it shows where they concentrate rather than the entire range.
Recorded months differ by region, and each place page shows the months recorded for that area.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Curlew 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.
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.
