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.

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; Marakele National Park: May-Sep, dry season. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
