uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park, Addo Elephant National Park and Garden Route National Park are among 15 atlas places where the Cape Wagtail is recorded. Its records concentrate in South Africa, Namibia, Lesotho, Uganda and Botswana. The atlas holds about 308,000 records of this bird from seven countries, and because its range is partial, the map tracks where these records gather.
Records of Motacilla capensis span the year and are recorded in every month.

These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Cape Wagtail 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.
