Waar u de Marico Sunbird in Zuid-Afrika ziet

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Marico Sunbird at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park, iSimangaliso Wetland Park and Madikwe 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 Marico Sunbird is most recorded in Limpopo (45% of records), Mpumalanga (32% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (11% of records), based on 569 iNaturalist observations. 23 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Marico Sunbird on site or nearby.

The Marico 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. Kruger National Park: Apr-Sep; Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park: Aug-Oct, flowers, Mar-May; Timbavati Private Nature Reserve: May-Sep, dry season; Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The Marico sunbird or Mariqua sunbird (Cinnyris mariquensis) is a species of bird in the Nectariniidae family. It is found in Angola, Botswana, Burundi, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique, Namibia, Rwanda, Somalia, South Africa, South Sudan, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
