Sand Martin

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Sand Martin at stays in or beside Anysberg Nature Reserve, Kruger National Park, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park and iSimangaliso Wetland Park. 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 Sand Martin is most recorded in Western Cape (33% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (33% of records), Gauteng (33% of records), based on 3 iNaturalist observations. 17 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Sand Martin on site or nearby.

Phalaris arundinacea, sometimes known as reed canary grass, is a tall, perennial bunchgrass that commonly forms extensive single-species stands along the margins of lakes and streams and in wet open areas, with a wide distribution in Europe, Asia, northern Africa and North America.
