Tringa glareola
Kruger National Park, Lake Nakuru and Table Mountain are among the five atlas places where the Wood Sandpiper is recorded. Its records gather most thickly in India, Taiwan, Norway, Finland and Israel. The atlas holds about 348,000 open records of this bird across 44 countries, and the map follows where these records concentrate.
Because this species is recorded in both hemispheres, the recorded months differ by region and each place page shows the timing for that area.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Wood Sandpiper 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.
