Waar u de Shelley's Francolin in Zuid-Afrika ziet

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Shelley's Francolin at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park, Giants Castle Game Reserve, iSimangaliso Wetland Park, Ithala Game Reserve and Kamberg 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 Shelley's Francolin is most recorded in Mpumalanga (43% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (41% of records), Limpopo (13% of records), based on 116 iNaturalist observations. 58 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Shelley's Francolin on site or nearby.

The Shelley's Francolin 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; uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep; Giants Castle Game Reserve: 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 Shelley's Francolin (Scleroptila shelleyi) is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.
