Onde ver o Blue Waxbill na África do Sul

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Blue Waxbill at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Sabi Sand Game Reserve, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park, iSimangaliso Wetland 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 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; Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park: 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 blue waxbill (Uraeginthus angolensis), also called Southern blue waxbill, blue-breasted waxbill, Southern cordon-bleu, blue-cheeked cordon-bleu, blue-breasted cordon-bleu and Angola cordon-bleu, is a common species of estrildid finch found in Southern Africa. It is also relatively commonly kept as an aviary bird.
