Distribution map
Distribution - 2017
This map shows the observed distribution of the Australian White Ibis for 2017.
The red circles are the grid cells where Australian White Ibis 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 N11.
The size of the circle represents the reporting rate. The maximum reporting rate for Australian White Ibis was 100.0% (eg grid number N11) and the minimum was 0.5% (eg grid number K15). 
Distribution - all years
This map shows the observed distribution of the Australian White Ibis for all years.
The red circles are the grid cells where Australian White Ibis 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 A12.
The size of the circle represents the reporting rate. The maximum reporting rate for Australian White Ibis was 64.7% (eg grid number S2) and the minimum was 0.1% (eg grid number I15).
