Wo man den Southern Tchagra in Südafrika sieht

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Southern Tchagra at stays in or beside Goukamma Nature Reserve, Gamkaberg Nature Reserve, Kwandwe Private Game Reserve, De Hoop Nature Reserve, Grootvadersbosch Nature Reserve and Hluhluwe-Imfolozi 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 Southern Tchagra is most recorded in Mpumalanga (42% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (34% of records), Limpopo (16% of records), based on 559 iNaturalist observations. 49 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Southern Tchagra on site or nearby.

The Southern Tchagra 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; Gamkaberg Nature Reserve: Autumn and spring, Mar-May, Sep-Nov; Kwandwe Private Game Reserve: year-round, best Mar-May, Sep-Nov; De Hoop Nature Reserve: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The black-crowned tchagra is a bushshrike. This family of passerine birds is closely related to the true shrikes in the family Laniidae, and was once included in that group.
