Grey Sunbird

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Grey Sunbird at stays in or beside Goukamma Nature Reserve, Kwandwe Private Game Reserve, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park, Garden Route National Park, iSimangaliso Wetland Park and Keurbooms River 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 Grey Sunbird is most recorded in KwaZulu-Natal (53% of records), Western Cape (25% of records), Eastern Cape (21% of records), based on 361 iNaturalist observations. 24 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Grey Sunbird on site or nearby.

The Grey Sunbird 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; Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep; Garden Route National Park: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The grey sunbird or mouse-coloured sunbird (Cyanomitra veroxii) is a species of bird in the Nectariniidae family. It is found in Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Somalia, South Africa, Swaziland, and Tanzania.
