Korsman Key

Column O P Q Korsman key Occurrence Probability 1 denotes a 2 denotes recorded under SABAP2 in the Numerals represent the frequency species recorded pentad in which Korsman lies (ie with which the species has been in the Korsman 2610_2815) recorded under the full protocol Conservancy by methodology of SABAP2. However Conservancy where there have been no SABAP2 is the Second Southern African sightings under full protocol counts members since Bird Atlas Project which has run from July the establishment but have been recordings under ad 2007 to the present. The region is divided hoc protocols or as 'incidentals' of the into pentads of 5 minutes of latitude by 5 Conservancy. these are shown as 1% so as to minutes of longitude, roughly 9km by 9km. complete the record. SABAP1 ran from 1987 to 1991 with divisions covering 15 minutes by 15 minutes. Thus a sighting under SABAP1 in one of these divisions cannot be taken as a sighting within a SABAP2 pentad in the absence of SABAP1 recordings having been reallocated to the more detailed SABAP2 pentads. Hence no SABAP1 sightings are recorded here.

Back to List Guidance on Use of the Sorting and Filtering Options

The columns in the Names-list sheet have been set up to allow sorting and filtering.

Sorting involves clicking on the downward pointing triangle in Line 1 of any column producing a menu which, depending on the contents of the column, includes options to sort from smallest to largest / largest to smallest or A to Z / Z to A. After the selection has been made click OK.

Filtering involves clicking the same icon and producing the same menu but in this case the filtering is achieved by checking or unchecking the relevant boxes. When no filtering is in operation all the boxes are checked. Unchecking Select All unchecks all the boxes, if necessary, leaving the option to check the ones required. Otherwise just uncheck the relevant boxes if that is quicker. After the selection has been made click OK. It will be appreciated that by filtering various columns a large number of diferent combinations can be selected. By way of example the sheet could be filtered to show only the birds already recorded at Korsman which are common or abundant, to be found in aquatic habitats and likely to be found in May.

Certain columns have been hidden for ease of use of the file. To access the hidden columns highlight the columns on either side of such column, right click and check Unhide.
