iSimangaliso Wetland Park, Lake Nakuru National Park and Kruger National Park are among the five atlas places where the Eurasian Hoopoe is recorded. Records concentrate most in Spain, India, Portugal, Israel and France, and the atlas map shows where these records gather. In total, there are about 346,000 records of this bird across 23 countries.
Seasons for recording the Eurasian Hoopoe 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 Eurasian Hoopoe 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.
