West Coast National Park is the atlas place where the Eurasian Curlew is recorded, and its records gather most thickly in the United Kingdom, Norway, Belgium, France and the Netherlands. This map shows where records concentrate, drawing on about 647,000 open records from 27 countries.
Recorded seasons differ by region, and each place page shows the months when the bird is recorded there.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Eurasian Curlew 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.
