Wo man den Black-headed Oriole in Südafrika sieht

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Black-headed Oriole at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Goukamma Nature Reserve, Kwandwe Private Game Reserve, Phinda Private Game Reserve, Sabi Sand Game 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 Black-headed Oriole is most recorded in Western Cape (25% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (23% of records), Mpumalanga (17% of records), based on 2,088 iNaturalist observations. 54 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Black-headed Oriole on site or nearby.

The Black-headed Oriole 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; Goukamma Nature Reserve: year-round, warm Oct-Apr; Kwandwe Private Game Reserve: year-round, best Mar-May, Sep-Nov; Phinda Private Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The black-headed oriole (Oriolus larvatus) is a species of bird in the family Oriolidae. It is found in Africa and has a very striking appearance with a bright yellow body, contrasting black head and flesh-coloured beak.
