Podiceps cristatus
Table Mountain National Park and Garden Route National Park are the two atlas locations where the Great Crested Grebe is recorded. Records concentrate in the United Kingdom, Belgium, France, Norway and the Netherlands. The atlas holds about 747,000 records of this bird from 25 countries, and the map shows where these sightings concentrate.
Recording seasons differ by region, and the months for each location are listed on its place page.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Great Crested Grebe 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.
