Distribution map

Distribution - 2017

This map shows the observed distribution of the Australasian Bittern for 2017.

The red circles are the grid cells where Australasian Bittern 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 A11.

The size of the circle represents the reporting rate. The maximum reporting rate for Australasian Bittern was 0.5% (eg grid number M13) and the minimum was 0.1% (eg grid number K15).

Distribution - all years

This map shows the observed distribution of the Australasian Bittern for all years.

The red circles are the grid cells where Australasian Bittern have been reported.
