Distribution map
Distribution - 2017
This map shows the observed distribution of the Australian Magpie for 2017.
The red circles are the grid cells where Australian Magpie 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.
