Kruger National Park, Garden Route National Park and uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park are among thirteen atlas places where the Common Waxbill is recorded. Records concentrate most in South Africa, Portugal and the United States, followed by Spain and Brazil. The atlas holds about 278,000 records of this bird across thirteen countries, and the map shows where these observations gather.
Seasons for recording the Common Waxbill differ by region, and each place page shows the months where it is documented locally.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Common Waxbill 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.
