Cecropis abyssinica
Kruger National Park, iSimangaliso Wetland Park and the Serengeti are among the 22 atlas places where the Lesser Striped Swallow is recorded. Its records concentrate in South Africa, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Zimbabwe, with about 129,000 records across 13 countries. This map follows where those records concentrate.
Recorded seasons differ by region for this bird, and the page for each place shows the months of its records there.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Lesser Striped Swallow 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.
