Waar om die Green-backed Camaroptera in Suid-Afrika te sien

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Green-backed Camaroptera at stays in or beside Goukamma Nature Reserve, Kruger National Park, Kwandwe Private Game Reserve, iSimangaliso Wetland Park, Garden Route National Park and Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park and other reserves. 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 Green-backed Camaroptera is most recorded in KwaZulu-Natal (34% of records), Limpopo (20% of records), Mpumalanga (17% of records), based on 935 iNaturalist observations. 33 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Green-backed Camaroptera on site or nearby.

The Green-backed Camaroptera 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. Goukamma Nature Reserve: year-round, warm Oct-Apr; Kruger National Park: Apr-Sep; Kwandwe Private Game Reserve: year-round, best Mar-May, Sep-Nov; iSimangaliso Wetland Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The green-backed camaroptera (Camaroptera brachyura), also known as the bleating camaroptera, is a small bird in the Cisticolidae family. This bird is a resident breeder in Africa south of the Sahara Desert. Recent studies suggest this species and the grey-backed camaroptera may be the same species.
