Waar om die Sombre Greenbul in Suid-Afrika te sien

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Sombre Greenbul at stays in or beside Goukamma Nature Reserve, Kruger National Park, Gamkaberg Nature Reserve, Kwandwe Private Game Reserve, De Hoop Nature Reserve and Grootvadersbosch 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 Sombre Greenbul is most recorded in Western Cape (51% of records), Eastern Cape (20% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (19% of records), based on 2,230 iNaturalist observations. 66 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Sombre Greenbul on site or nearby.

The Sombre Greenbul 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; Gamkaberg Nature Reserve: Autumn and spring, Mar-May, Sep-Nov; Kwandwe Private Game Reserve: year-round, best Mar-May, Sep-Nov. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The sombre greenbul (Andropadus importunus) is a member of the bulbul family of passerine birds. It is a resident breeder in coastal bush, evergreen forest and dry shrub land in eastern and southern Africa. It is the only member of the genus Andropadus.
