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 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.
