Gallinula chloropus
Table Mountain National Park is the atlas place where the Common Moorhen is recorded, and its records concentrate most in the United Kingdom, Taiwan, Belgium, Spain and India. The atlas holds about 1.2 million open records of this bird from 19 countries. This map follows where those records concentrate rather than the full range of the family Rallidae.
Seasons differ by region for these records, and each place page shows the months recorded there.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Common Moorhen 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.
