Waar om die Scaly-throated Honeyguide in Suid-Afrika te sien

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Scaly-throated Honeyguide at stays in or beside Goukamma Nature Reserve, Kruger National Park, Phinda Private Game Reserve, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi 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.

The Scaly-throated Honeyguide is most recorded in KwaZulu-Natal (56% of records), Western Cape (18% of records), Eastern Cape (13% of records), based on 142 iNaturalist observations. 27 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Scaly-throated Honeyguide on site or nearby.

The Scaly-throated Honeyguide 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; Phinda Private Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep; Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The scaly-throated honeyguide (Indicator variegatus) is a species of bird in the family Indicatoridae. It is found in Angola, Burundi, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda, Somalia, South Africa, South Sudan, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
