Ploceus cucullatus
Kruger National Park, iSimangaliso Wetland Park and Addo Elephant National Park are among 17 atlas places where the Village Weaver is recorded. Records concentrate in South Africa, Uganda, Kenya, Gambia and Zimbabwe. The atlas holds about 127,000 open records of this bird across 28 countries, and the map shows where these records concentrate.
Because it is recorded in both hemispheres, seasons differ by region and each place page shows the months recorded there.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Village Weaver 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.
