Southern Boubou

Laniarius ferrugineus

Overview

Kruger National Park, iSimangaliso Wetland Park and Addo Elephant National Park are among the ten atlas places where the Southern Boubou is recorded. Records concentrate most heavily in South Africa, Eswatini, Lesotho and Mozambique. The atlas holds about 173,000 records of Laniarius ferrugineus from four countries, and the map shows where these records concentrate.

Travellers may encounter the bird year-round, as records span every month of the calendar.

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 Southern Boubou 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.
