Saxicola torquatus
uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park, Kruger National Park and Garden Route National Park are among the 16 atlas places where the African Stonechat is recorded. Its records concentrate in South Africa, Lesotho, France, Zimbabwe and Madagascar, and the map shows where these sightings gather. The atlas holds about 153,000 records of this bird from 17 countries.
Seasons differ by region for the African Stonechat, and each place page shows the months recorded there.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the African Stonechat 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.
