Distribution map
Distribution - 2017
This map shows the observed distribution of the Rainbow Bee-eater for 2017.
The red circles are the grid cells where Rainbow Bee-eater 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 E3.
The size of the circle represents the reporting rate. The maximum reporting rate for Rainbow Bee-eater was 100.0% (eg grid number E3) and the minimum was 0.2% (eg grid number K13). 
Distribution - all years
This map shows the observed distribution of the Rainbow Bee-eater for all years.
The red circles are the grid cells where Rainbow Bee-eater 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 Rainbow Bee-eater was 50.0% (eg grid number D8) and the minimum was 0.0% (eg grid number K14).
