Onde ver o Half-collared Kingfisher na África do Sul

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Half-collared Kingfisher at stays in or beside Goukamma Nature Reserve, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park, Kruger National Park, Garden Route National Park, iSimangaliso Wetland Park and Ithala Game 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 Half-collared Kingfisher is most recorded in Western Cape (31% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (24% of records), Eastern Cape (22% of records), based on 415 iNaturalist observations. 31 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Half-collared Kingfisher on site or nearby.

The Half-collared Kingfisher 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. Goukamma Nature Reserve: year-round, warm Oct-Apr; Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep; Kruger National Park: Apr-Sep; Garden Route National Park: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The half-collared kingfisher (Alcedo semitorquata) is a species of kingfisher that feeds almost exclusively on fish and can be found near water at all times. It can be found on shores and around larger bodies of water in southern and eastern Africa.
