Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Plain-backed Pipit at stays in or beside Goukamma Nature Reserve, Grootvadersbosch Nature Reserve, Vrolijkheid Nature Reserve, Gondwana Game Reserve, De Mond Nature Reserve and Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park and other reserves.

The Plain-backed Pipit 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; Grootvadersbosch Nature Reserve: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct; Vrolijkheid Nature Reserve: Autumn and spring, Mar-May, Sep-Nov; Gondwana Game Reserve: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
