Où observer le Violet-eared Waxbill en Afrique du Sud

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Violet-eared Waxbill at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, Madikwe Game Reserve and Marakele National Park. 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 Violet-eared Waxbill is most recorded in Limpopo (37% of records), North West (31% of records), Northern Cape (22% of records), based on 410 iNaturalist observations. 20 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Violet-eared Waxbill on site or nearby.

The Violet-eared Waxbill 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; Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park: Aug-Oct, flowers, Mar-May; Madikwe Game Reserve: Apr-Sep; Marakele National Park: May-Sep, dry season. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The violet-eared waxbill or common grenadier is a common species of estrildid finch found in drier land of Southern Africa. It has an estimated global extent of occurrence of 2,300,000 km².
