European Bee-eater
Merops apiaster
Kruger National Park, iSimangaliso Wetland Park and Pilanesberg National Park are among the four atlas places where the European Bee-eater is recorded. Its records concentrate in Spain, South Africa, France, Portugal and Israel, with about 232,000 open records across 25 countries. This map follows where those records gather.
Because this bird is recorded in both hemispheres, the months it is seen differ by region. Each place page shows the months recorded for that area.

These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the European Bee-eater 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.
