Cards to Green Maps






Friday 8 April 2011

I have had a request from Peter Nupen [the Western Cape co-ordinator] for this map for the Western Cape as well.

In keeping with stressing the importance of having at least four surveys for statistical analysis to be done for a pentad, I have created this map showing which pentads in KZN have four or less surveys.

The colours used are as follows:
RED pentads have no surveys, so another four are required;
YELLOW have one survey, so need another three;
GREEN have two, so only need another two;
BLUE have three so only require one more.

In keeping with stressing the importance of having at least four surveys for statistical analysis to be done for a pentad, I have created this map showing which pentads in KZN have four or less surveys.

BLUE have three so only require one more.

In an effort to ensure some seasonality in the coverage, I have also excluded all pentads with a survey returned for autumn [basically Mar, Apr or May].

So if you are getting out further afield this autumn, or in the string of public holidays coming up, please consider using this map to plan your birding.
