Lanius collaris
uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park, Addo Elephant National Park and Garden Route National Park are among 12 atlas places where the Common Fiscal is recorded. Records concentrate in South Africa, Lesotho, Zimbabwe, Eswatini and Botswana, and the map follows where these records gather. The atlas holds about 267,000 records of Lanius collaris from five countries.
Records of this bird span the year, with occurrences registered in every month.
Each bar is the share of its 200 month-dated grid cells with records in that month.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Common Fiscal 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.
