Distribution map
Distribution - 2017
This map shows the observed distribution of the European Goldfinch for 2017.
The red circles are the grid cells where European Goldfinch 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 A21.
The size of the circle represents the reporting rate. The maximum reporting rate for European Goldfinch was 100.0% (eg grid number A21) and the minimum was 0.2% (eg grid number J12). 
Distribution - all years
This map shows the observed distribution of the European Goldfinch for all years.
The red circles are the grid cells where European Goldfinch 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 European Goldfinch was 80.0% (eg grid number E30) and the minimum was 0.4% (eg grid number D16).
