Wo man den Fork-tailed Drongo in Südafrika sieht

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Fork-tailed Drongo at stays in or beside Cederberg Wilderness Area, Goukamma Nature Reserve, Kruger National Park, Gamkaberg Nature Reserve, Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park and Kwandwe Private Game 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 Fork-tailed Drongo is most recorded in Western Cape (35% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (21% of records), Eastern Cape (14% of records), based on 6,159 iNaturalist observations. 91 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Fork-tailed Drongo on site or nearby.

The Fork-tailed Drongo 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; Kruger National Park: Apr-Sep; Gamkaberg Nature Reserve: Autumn and spring, Mar-May, Sep-Nov. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The fork-tailed drongo, also called the common drongo, African drongo, or savanna drongo (Dicrurus adsimilis), is a species of drongo in the family Dicruridae, which are medium-sized passerine birds of the Old World. It is native to the tropics, subtropics and temperate zones of the Afrotropics.
