Waar om die Spectacled Weaver in Suid-Afrika te sien

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Spectacled Weaver at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Kwandwe Private Game Reserve, Addo Elephant National Park, 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 Spectacled Weaver is most recorded in KwaZulu-Natal (60% of records), Mpumalanga (19% of records), Eastern Cape (13% of records), based on 1,264 iNaturalist observations. 22 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Spectacled Weaver on site or nearby.

The Spectacled Weaver 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; Kwandwe Private Game Reserve: year-round, best Mar-May, Sep-Nov; Addo Elephant National Park: year-round, best Mar-May, Sep-Nov; Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The spectacled weaver (Ploceus ocularis) is a species of bird in the family Ploceidae. It is found widely in woodland, forest edge and gardens of East, Middle and Southern Africa, but is absent from the most arid regions (such as the Karoo) and dense, primary rainforest.
