Onychognathus morio
Table Mountain, Kruger and Addo Elephant National Park are among the 23 atlas places where the Red-winged Starling is recorded. Its records concentrate in South Africa, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Zambia and Kenya. The atlas holds about 177,000 records of Onychognathus morio across eight countries, and the map shows where these records concentrate.
This bird is recorded year-round, with observations spanning every month of the year.
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 Red-winged Starling 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.
