Kruger National Park, Table Mountain National Park and Garden Route National Park are among the 12 atlas places where the Black-winged Stilt is recorded. Records concentrate in Taiwan, Spain, India, Portugal and France. The atlas holds about 597,000 open records of this bird from 31 countries, and the map shows where these records concentrate.
Because the Black-winged Stilt is recorded in both hemispheres, the seasons for seeing it differ by region. Each place page in the atlas shows the months recorded there.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Black-winged Stilt 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.
