Yellow-throated Woodland Warbler

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Yellow-throated Woodland Warbler at stays in or beside Goukamma Nature Reserve, Grootvadersbosch Nature Reserve, Garden Route National Park, Ithala Game Reserve and Keurbooms River Nature Reserve. 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 Yellow-throated Woodland Warbler is most recorded in Western Cape (57% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (24% of records), Eastern Cape (10% of records), based on 166 iNaturalist observations. 20 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Yellow-throated Woodland Warbler on site or nearby.

The Yellow-throated Woodland Warbler 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; Grootvadersbosch Nature Reserve: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct; Garden Route National Park: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct; Ithala Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The yellow-throated woodland warbler (Phylloscopus ruficapilla) is a species of Old World warbler (the Phylloscopidae family). It is found in Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests and subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.
