Waar u de Ant-eating Chat in Zuid-Afrika ziet

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Ant-eating Chat at stays in or beside Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park and Kwandwe Private Game 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 Ant-eating Chat is most recorded in Eastern Cape (27% of records), Northern Cape (20% of records), Gauteng (14% of records), based on 1,334 iNaturalist observations. 18 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Ant-eating Chat on site or nearby.

The Ant-eating Chat 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. Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park: Aug-Oct, flowers, Mar-May; Kwandwe Private Game Reserve: year-round, best Mar-May, Sep-Nov. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The ant-eating chat or southern anteater-chat (Myrmecocichla formicivora) is a species of bird in the family Muscicapidae. It is found in Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, and Zimbabwe. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry shrubland and subtropical or tropical dry lowland grassland.
