Recorded year-round
Recorded in every month, so no month is the wrong month to look. We would rather say that than invent a best time.
Curve from 1,977 national iNaturalist observations, not from one property. Single-month spikes are discarded as upload artefacts, and below 50 records we show no curve at all.

Um registro significa que um anfitrião avistou esta espécie (Blue Waxbill) na propriedade ou nas proximidades. Nunca é garantia de avistamento.
Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Blue Waxbill at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Sabi Sand Game Reserve, 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 Blue Waxbill is most recorded in Limpopo (36% of records), Mpumalanga (28% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (17% of records), based on 1 977 iNaturalist observations. 35 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Blue Waxbill on site or nearby.
The Blue Waxbill 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; Sabi Sand Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep optimal; Madikwe Game Reserve: Apr-Sep; Marakele National Park: May-Sep, dry season. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
