Waar u de Woolly-necked Stork in Zuid-Afrika ziet

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Woolly-necked Stork at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park, iSimangaliso Wetland Park and Ndumo 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 Woolly-necked Stork is most recorded in KwaZulu-Natal (72% of records), Mpumalanga (18% of records), Limpopo (10% of records), based on 2,446 iNaturalist observations. 31 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Woolly-necked Stork on site or nearby.

The Woolly-necked Stork 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; Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep; iSimangaliso Wetland Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep; Ndumo Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The African woolly-necked stork or African woollyneck is a species of large wading bird in the stork family Ciconiidae. It breeds singly, or in small loose colonies. It is distributed in a wide variety of habitats including marshes in forests, agricultural areas, and freshwater wetlands across Africa.
