Description of problem (please provide a set of steps we can use to replicate the issue, and make as many as you need.):

Step 1:
open any Iberian Green Woodpecker (Picus sharpei) observation, e.g.

Step 2:
select “gbif” layer on the map (see screenshot)

Step 3:
Observed bug: gbif points are widely spread across eurasia including south-east asia.
Expected: gbif layer points are mostly located on Iberian Peninsula (gbif website data is correct: https://www.gbif.org/species/9029556)
