Layard's Warbler

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Layard's Warbler at stays in or beside uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park, Cederberg Wilderness Area, Anysberg Nature Reserve, Gamkaberg Nature Reserve, Addo Elephant National Park and Rocherpan Nature Reserve 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 Layard's Warbler is most recorded in Western Cape (70% of records), Northern Cape (21% of records), Eastern Cape (7% of records), based on 218 iNaturalist observations. 71 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Layard's Warbler on site or nearby.

The Layard's Warbler 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. uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep; Cederberg Wilderness Area: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct; Anysberg Nature Reserve: Autumn and spring, Mar-May, Sep-Nov; Gamkaberg Nature Reserve: Autumn and spring, Mar-May, Sep-Nov. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

Layard's warbler (Curruca layardi) or Layard's tit-babbler, is a species of Old World warbler in the family Sylviidae. It is found in Lesotho, Namibia, and South Africa. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry shrubland.
