Onde ver o Fulvous Whistling Duck na África do Sul

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Fulvous Whistling Duck at stays in or beside Kruger National Park and iSimangaliso Wetland 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 Fulvous Whistling Duck is most recorded in Western Cape (75% of records), Gauteng (9% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (5% of records), based on 532 iNaturalist observations. 11 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Fulvous Whistling Duck on site or nearby.

The Fulvous Whistling Duck 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; iSimangaliso Wetland Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The fulvous whistling duck or fulvous tree duck (Dendrocygna bicolor) is a whistling duck that breeds across the world's tropical regions in much of Mexico and South America, the West Indies, the southern US, sub-Saharan Africa and the Indian subcontinent. It has mainly reddish brown plumage, long legs and a long grey bill, and shows a distinctive white band across its black tail in flight.
