Egretta garzetta
Table Mountain National Park is among the places where the Little Egret is recorded. Its records concentrate in Taiwan, the United Kingdom, India, Spain and France. This atlas holds about 1.3 million open records of the bird across 25 countries, and the map shows where these records gather most thickly.
Seasons for recording the Little Egret differ by region. Each place page in the atlas shows the particular months when it was recorded there.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Little Egret 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.
