The collection represented by this edition
Coverage counts describe what has been submitted to the source archives; they are not estimates of abundance or of what lives in a country.
Regional context
The weekly edition brings together country-first observations, bird media, and field sounds across East Africa. The source archives answer different questions, so their totals should be read side by side rather than added together.
