Wo man den Black Sparrowhawk in Südafrika sieht

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Black Sparrowhawk at stays in or beside Goukamma Nature Reserve, Kwandwe Private Game Reserve, Kruger National Park, De Hoop Nature Reserve, Grootvadersbosch Nature Reserve and Vrolijkheid Nature Reserve 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 Sparrowhawk is most recorded in Western Cape (54% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (19% of records), Gauteng (13% of records), based on 1,430 iNaturalist observations. 54 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Black Sparrowhawk on site or nearby.

The Black Sparrowhawk 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. Goukamma Nature Reserve: year-round, warm Oct-Apr; Kwandwe Private Game Reserve: year-round, best Mar-May, Sep-Nov; Kruger National Park: Apr-Sep; De Hoop Nature Reserve: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The black sparrowhawk (Astur melanoleucus), sometimes known as the black goshawk or great sparrowhawk, is a bird of prey belonging to the family Accipitridae. It was formerly placed in the genus Accipiter.
