Common Greenshank

Tringa nebularia

Overview

Garden Route, Walvis Bay and Kruger National Park are among the eight atlas places where the Common Greenshank is recorded. Its records concentrate in Taiwan, Norway, Spain, Belgium and Australia, and the atlas holds about 515,000 records from 37 countries. This map follows where those records gather most thickly.

Because this bird is recorded across both hemispheres, the active months differ by region. Each place page in the atlas shows the particular months when the species is recorded there.

These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Common Greenshank 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.
