Waar u de Blue-mantled Crested Flycatcher in Zuid-Afrika ziet

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Blue-mantled Crested Flycatcher at stays in or beside Goukamma Nature Reserve, Kruger National Park, Grootvadersbosch Nature Reserve, Garden Route National Park, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park and iSimangaliso Wetland 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 Blue-mantled Crested Flycatcher is most recorded in Western Cape (64% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (20% of records), Eastern Cape (11% of records), based on 385 iNaturalist observations. 23 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Blue-mantled Crested Flycatcher on site or nearby.

The Blue-mantled Crested Flycatcher 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; Kruger National Park: Apr-Sep; Grootvadersbosch Nature Reserve: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct; Garden Route National Park: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The blue-mantled crested flycatcher or African crested flycatcher (Trochocercus cyanomelas) is a species of bird in the family Monarchidae found in eastern and south-eastern Africa.
