Waar om die Yellow-billed Stork in Suid-Afrika te sien

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Yellow-billed Stork at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Sabi Sand Game Reserve, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park, iSimangaliso Wetland Park and Ndumo Game Reserve. 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 Yellow-billed Stork is most recorded in Mpumalanga (42% of records), Limpopo (29% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (18% of records), based on 1,673 iNaturalist observations. 25 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Yellow-billed Stork on site or nearby.

The Yellow-billed Stork 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; Sabi Sand Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep optimal; Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep; iSimangaliso Wetland Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The yellow-billed stork (Mycteria ibis), sometimes also called the wood stork or wood ibis, is a large African wading stork species in the family Ciconiidae. It is widespread in regions south of the Sahara and also occurs in Madagascar.
