Port of Tarifa

All the species of the site

One list with both sources: the open GBIF and OBIS observations within 0.5 km, which say how many times and when, and the Port Authority's field records, which say it was seen here and with what presence. First those with both kinds of evidence; then those only observed, by number of observations; last, those only recorded in the field.

A species recorded in the field with no open observation is not doubtful: it means nobody has published it under an open licence from this point. One with hundreds of observations and no field record is not either: the guide is not exhaustive. APBA bird guide (PDF, in Spanish)
