African Paradise Flycatcher

Terpsiphone viridis

Overview

Kruger National Park, iSimangaliso Wetland Park and uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park are among the 26 atlas places where the African Paradise Flycatcher is recorded. Its records concentrate in South Africa, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Zimbabwe. The atlas holds about 115,000 records of this bird from 19 countries, and the map shows where these sightings concentrate.

Because it is recorded in both hemispheres, the recorded months differ by region and each place page shows the months for that location.

These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the African Paradise Flycatcher 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.
