Distribution map
Distribution - 2017
This map shows the observed distribution of the Rock Dove for 2017.
The red circles are the grid cells where Rock Dove 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 Rock Dove was 35.9% (eg grid number L13) and the minimum was 0.5% (eg grid number Q13). 
Distribution - all years
This map shows the observed distribution of the Rock Dove for all years.
The red circles are the grid cells where Rock Dove 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 Rock Dove was 50.0% (eg grid number Y17) and the minimum was 0.1% (eg grid number M11).
