Kruger National Park, uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park and iSimangaliso Wetland Park are among the 19 atlas places where the Pin-tailed Whydah is recorded. Records concentrate most in South Africa, the United States and Uganda, and the map follows where these records gather. The atlas holds about 155,000 open records of this bird from 14 countries.
Because it is recorded in both hemispheres, the seasons for the Pin-tailed Whydah 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 Pin-tailed Whydah 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.
