Charadrius tricollaris
Kruger National Park, iSimangaliso Wetland Park and Addo Elephant National Park are among 32 atlas places where the Three-banded Plover is recorded. Its records concentrate in South Africa, Kenya, Namibia, Zimbabwe and Tanzania. The atlas holds about 122,000 records of this bird from ten countries, and the map shows where these records gather.
Records of the Three-banded Plover span every month of the year.
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 Three-banded Plover 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.
