These lists are compiled from the current SABAP2 database. This is a work in progress. Species with low reporting rates are mostly vagrants; although some will be skulking residents, rarely seen. The data is not yet fully vetted, so if you find a species that you believe is totally incorrect, please send an email to info@sabap2.org

These lists are based on the pentads which overlap with the specified locality, so they might well include species that technically only occur outside the locality.
