Southern Pied Babbler

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Southern Pied Babbler at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, Mapungubwe National Park, Madikwe Game Reserve and Marakele National 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 Southern Pied Babbler is most recorded in Limpopo (56% of records), North West (24% of records), Northern Cape (11% of records), based on 211 iNaturalist observations. 57 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Southern Pied Babbler on site or nearby.

The Southern Pied Babbler 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; Mapungubwe National Park: May-Sep, dry season; Madikwe Game Reserve: Apr-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The southern pied babbler (Turdoides bicolor) is a species of bird in the Leiothrichidae family, found in dry savannah of Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe.
