Saxicola rubetra
Nairobi National Park is the atlas place where the Whinchat is recorded, with records gathered most thickly in Norway, Finland, France, Belgium, and Sweden. The atlas holds about 171,000 open records of this bird from 33 countries, and the map follows where these records concentrate. Records of Saxicola rubetra are seasonal. They peak during April, May, August, and September, while the thinnest months are January, February, March, November, and December.
Each bar is the share of its 199 month-dated grid cells with records in that month.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Whinchat 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.
