Cape White-eye

Zosterops capensis

Overview

Kruger National Park, Addo Elephant National Park and uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park are among the 12 atlas places where the Cape White-eye is recorded. Its records gather most thickly in South Africa, Lesotho and Eswatini. The atlas holds about 224,000 open records of this bird from three countries, and the map shows where these records concentrate.

Records of Zosterops capensis span every month of the year.

Each bar is the share of its 200 month-dated grid cells with records in that month.

Recorded in and around these atlas places

These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Cape White-eye 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.
