Tachybaptus ruficollis
Table Mountain, West Coast and Garden Route national parks are among the four atlas places where the Little Grebe is recorded. Its records concentrate in the United Kingdom, Belgium, Taiwan, Spain and India. The atlas holds about 746,000 records of the bird from 28 countries, and the map shows where these records concentrate.
Recorded seasons differ by region, and each place page shows the months recorded there.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Little 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.
