Recorded year-round
Recorded in every month, so no month is the wrong month to look. We would rather say that than invent a best time.
Curve from 1,965 national iNaturalist observations, not from one property. Single-month spikes are discarded as upload artefacts, and below 50 records we show no curve at all.

Una segnalazione significa che un host ha visto questa specie (Cape Batis) nella struttura o nei dintorni. Non è mai una garanzia di avvistamento.
Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Cape Batis at stays in or beside Cederberg Wilderness Area, Goukamma Nature Reserve, Gamkaberg Nature Reserve, De Hoop Nature Reserve, Kwandwe Private Game Reserve and Kruger National 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 Cape Batis is most recorded in Western Cape (74% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (11% of records), Eastern Cape (8% of records), based on 1 965 iNaturalist observations. 75 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Cape Batis on site or nearby.
The Cape Batis 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; Gamkaberg Nature Reserve: Autumn and spring, 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.
