Vrae wat reisigers vra

’n Waarneming beteken dat ’n gasheer die Levaillant's Cuckoo op die eiendom of naby gesien het. Dit waarborg nooit dat jy dit sal sien nie.

Which parks and reserves are best for the Levaillant's Cuckoo in South Africa?

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Levaillant's Cuckoo at stays in or beside Kruger National Park and iSimangaliso Wetland Park. 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.

Where can you see the Levaillant's Cuckoo in South Africa?

The Levaillant's Cuckoo is most recorded in Mpumalanga (44% of records), Limpopo (39% of records), North West (8% of records), based on 330 iNaturalist observations. 11 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Levaillant's Cuckoo on site or nearby.

When is the best time to see the Levaillant's Cuckoo?

The Levaillant's Cuckoo 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. Kruger National Park: Apr-Sep; iSimangaliso Wetland Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

What is the Levaillant's Cuckoo?

Levaillant's cuckoo, Clamator levaillantii is a cuckoo which is a resident breeding species in Africa south of the Sahara. It is found in bushy habitats. It is a brood parasite, using the nests of bulbuls and babblers. It was named in honour of the French explorer, collector and ornithologist, François Le Vaillant.
