Brimstone Canary

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Brimstone Canary at stays in or beside Goukamma Nature Reserve, Kwandwe Private Game Reserve, Rocherpan Nature Reserve, De Hoop Nature Reserve, Grootvadersbosch Nature Reserve and Kogelberg Nature Reserve 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 Brimstone Canary is most recorded in Western Cape (65% of records), Eastern Cape (17% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (17% of records), based on 1,499 iNaturalist observations. 50 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Brimstone Canary on site or nearby.

The Brimstone Canary 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; Kwandwe Private Game Reserve: year-round, best Mar-May, Sep-Nov; Rocherpan Nature Reserve: Winter and spring for birds and flowers, Jun-Oct; De Hoop Nature Reserve: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The brimstone canary or bully canary,, is a small passerine bird in the finch family. It is a resident breeder in central and southern Africa.
