African Dusky Flycatcher

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the African Dusky Flycatcher at stays in or beside Cederberg Wilderness Area, Goukamma Nature Reserve, De Hoop Nature Reserve, Grootvadersbosch Nature Reserve, Kogelberg Nature Reserve and Garden Route National Park 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 African Dusky Flycatcher is most recorded in Western Cape (63% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (24% of records), Eastern Cape (8% of records), based on 3,020 iNaturalist observations. 39 places to stay on Spekboom in Western Cape have recorded the African Dusky Flycatcher on site or nearby.

The African Dusky Flycatcher 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. Cederberg Wilderness Area: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct; Goukamma Nature Reserve: year-round, warm Oct-Apr; De Hoop Nature Reserve: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct; Grootvadersbosch Nature Reserve: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The African dusky flycatcher, dusky-brown flycatcher or dusky alseonax, Muscicapa adusta, is a small passerine bird of the Old World flycatcher family, Muscicapidae. It is a resident breeder in Africa from Nigeria, the Central African Republic, South Sudan and Ethiopia south to South Africa.
