Do you have old bird checklists of notes from before 2014?
SPECIES ACCUMULATION CURVE bar chart is a cumulative curve and against a particular year it plots the number of species seen until that year (and not of that year alone!)
HEATMAP gives you an idea of the proportion of checklists within grids in your chosen geography. It shows the boundary of the area covered by square grids of 5 x 5 km and each grid has a colour density proportional to the number of checklists in that grid.
Check out these two new updates in the MYNA reports. 1. Heatmaps 2. Species accumulation trend over the years
A green background, with some green leaves, and two birds prched on them. The birds are scaly breasted munias - reddish brown coloured upper parts, black scaly pattern on the white under parts, triangular black beak.
A stocky big bird - the Eurasian Curlew, with greenish legs, mottled brown neck and body, and a downward curved beak walking on a mossy, marshy land at the edge of the water.
A stinkhorn mushroom, with the lacy indusium just unfurling.
A small bird with yellow head and upperparts and white coloured belly, and a white coloured ring around the eye - an Indian White-eye. The almost roundish bird is perched on a clear branch without leaves, but two round green fruits of the Paper-mulberry tree.
A peregrine falcon is eating a pigeon, while perched on a metal pylon tower, used for high tension electric cables. The falcon is holding the pigeon which it hunted, in its talons.
