Cape Robin-Chat

Cossypha caffra

Overview

Table Mountain, Addo Elephant and Garden Route National Parks are among the ten atlas places where the Cape Robin-Chat is recorded. Its records concentrate in South Africa, Lesotho, Eswatini and Zimbabwe. The atlas holds about 185,000 open records of this bird from four countries, and the map follows where they gather most thickly.

Records of Cossypha caffra span every month of the year.

Each bar is the share of its 200 month-dated grid cells with records in that month.

Recorded in and around these atlas places

These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Cape Robin-Chat 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.
