Orange-breasted Bushshrike

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Orange-breasted Bushshrike at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Kwandwe Private Game 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 Orange-breasted Bushshrike is most recorded in Mpumalanga (36% of records), Limpopo (30% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (22% of records), based on 514 iNaturalist observations. 28 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Orange-breasted Bushshrike on site or nearby.

The Orange-breasted Bushshrike 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; Kwandwe Private Game Reserve: year-round, best Mar-May, Sep-Nov; Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep; iSimangaliso Wetland Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The orange-breasted bushshrike or sulphur-breasted bushshrike (Chlorophoneus sulfureopectus) is a species of bird in the family Malaconotidae. Another bird, Braun's bushshrike, is also sometimes called the orange-breasted bushshrike.
