Pycnonotus capensis
Table Mountain, Garden Route and Addo Elephant National Park are among the four atlas places where the Cape Bulbul is recorded. Its records concentrate in South Africa, and the atlas holds about 113,000 open records from this one country. Because the mapping is partial, it shows where these records gather most thickly. Pycnonotus capensis is recorded year-round, with records spanning every month of the calendar.
Each bar is the share of its 194 month-dated grid cells with records in that month.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Cape 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.
