Distribution map
Distribution - 2017
This map shows the observed distribution of the Masked Lapwing for 2017.
The red circles are the grid cells where Masked Lapwing have been reported.
The transparency of the red circles indicate how many surveys sheets were submitted for that grid cell; the darker the red the more reliable the data. Of the 315 grid cells with reports, 83 had only one sheet; an example is grid number D26.
The size of the circle represents the reporting rate. The maximum reporting rate for Masked Lapwing was 100.0% (eg grid number D26) and the minimum was 0.2% (eg grid number K16). 
Distribution - all years
This map shows the observed distribution of the Masked Lapwing for all years.
The red circles are the grid cells where Masked Lapwing have been reported.
The transparency of the red circles indicate how many surveys sheets were submitted for that grid cell; the darker the red the more reliable the data. Of the 703 grid cells with reports, 55 had only one sheet; an example is grid number B13.
The size of the circle represents the reporting rate. The maximum reporting rate for Masked Lapwing was 100.0% (eg grid number B13) and the minimum was 0.5% (eg grid number M13).
