Cecropis cucullata
Addo Elephant, Table Mountain and Garden Route National Parks are among ten atlas places where the Greater Striped-Swallow is recorded. Records gather most thickly in South Africa, Lesotho, Namibia and Eswatini. The atlas holds about 141,000 records of this bird from four countries, and the map follows where they concentrate.
Records span most of the year. They are at their fewest from May to August.

These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Greater 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.
