Yellow-bellied Eremomela

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Yellow-bellied Eremomela at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Anysberg Nature Reserve, Gamkaberg Nature Reserve, Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, Kwandwe Private Game Reserve and Vrolijkheid 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 Yellow-bellied Eremomela is most recorded in Northern Cape (41% of records), Western Cape (33% of records), Limpopo (7% of records), based on 195 iNaturalist observations. 46 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Yellow-bellied Eremomela on site or nearby.

The Yellow-bellied Eremomela 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; Anysberg Nature Reserve: Autumn and spring, Mar-May, Sep-Nov; Gamkaberg Nature Reserve: Autumn and spring, Mar-May, Sep-Nov; Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park: Aug-Oct, flowers, Mar-May. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The yellow-bellied eremomela (Eremomela icteropygialis) is an Old World warbler. However, the taxonomy of the "African warblers", an assemblage of usually species-poor and apparently rather ancient "odd warblers" from Africa is currently in a state of flux. Today, most taxonomists consider members in this genus members of the Cisticolidae family.
