Recorded year-round
Recorded in every month, so no month is the wrong month to look. We would rather say that than invent a best time.

Die donkerder maande is elke park se beste seisoen, wanneer die bos yler is of water skaars is en diere makliker gesien word. ’n Waarneming is nooit gewaarborg nie.
Beste tye van die dag
- Die warm ure van die dag. Die Water Monitor het die son se warmte nodig voordat dit beweeg.
- Koue oggende en nagte. Weggesteek totdat die dag warm word.
