Tachymarptis melba
Table Mountain, Kruger and Garden Route National Parks are among nine atlas places where the Alpine Swift is recorded. Its records concentrate in Spain, South Africa, Israel, France and Türkiye, with about 111,000 records in the atlas across 32 countries. This map follows where those records gather.
Seasons for recording the Alpine Swift differ by region, and each place page shows the months when it is recorded there.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Alpine Swift 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.
