Marico Sunbird

The Marico Sunbird is most recorded in Limpopo (45% of records), Mpumalanga (32% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (11% of records), based on 569 iNaturalist observations. 1 place to stay on Spekboom in North West has recorded the Marico Sunbird on site or nearby.

The Marico Sunbird 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. Madikwe Game Reserve: Apr-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
