Distribution map
Distribution - 2017
This map shows the observed distribution of the Magpie-lark for 2017.
The red circles are the grid cells where Magpie-lark 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 Magpie-lark was 100.0% (eg grid number D6) and the minimum was 5.9% (eg grid number G18). 
Distribution - all years
This map shows the observed distribution of the Magpie-lark for all years.
The red circles are the grid cells where Magpie-lark 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 S27.
The size of the circle represents the reporting rate. The maximum reporting rate for Magpie-lark was 100.0% (eg grid number A7) and the minimum was 0.6% (eg grid number Q21).
