Waar om die Cloud Cisticola in Suid-Afrika te sien

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Cloud Cisticola at stays in or beside De Hoop Nature Reserve, Grootvadersbosch Nature Reserve, De Mond Nature Reserve, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park, iSimangaliso Wetland Park and Marloth Nature Reserve. A record means a host has seen it on the property or nearby, which makes these the places to base yourself; it is never a guarantee of a sighting on any given day.

The Cloud Cisticola is most recorded in Western Cape (72% of records), Mpumalanga (8% of records), Eastern Cape (7% of records), based on 92 iNaturalist observations. 14 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Cloud Cisticola on site or nearby.

The Cloud Cisticola is recorded throughout the year, so no month is the wrong month to look for it. For the parks where hosts record it most, these are the best seasons they give. De Hoop Nature Reserve: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct; Grootvadersbosch Nature Reserve: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct; De Mond Nature Reserve: Summer for terns and waders, Oct-Mar; Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The cloud cisticola or tink-tink cisticola (Cisticola textrix) is a species of bird in the family Cisticolidae. It is found in Angola, Lesotho, Mozambique, South Africa, Swaziland, and Zambia, and its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry lowland grassland.
