Pycnonotus barbatus
Kruger National Park, iSimangaliso Wetland Park and uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park are among the 23 atlas places where the Common Bulbul is recorded. Its records concentrate most heavily in South Africa, Kenya, Uganda, Zimbabwe and Zambia. The atlas holds about 379,000 open records of this bird from 19 countries, and the map reflects where these records gather.
Recorded seasons for the Common Bulbul differ by region, and each park page shows the particular months it is documented there.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Common Bulbul 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.
