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.
Curve from 1,425 national iNaturalist observations, not from one property. Single-month spikes are discarded as upload artefacts, and below 50 records we show no curve at all.

Ein Nachweis bedeutet, dass ein Gastgeber den Knysna Turaco auf dem Grundstück oder in der Nähe gesehen hat. Eine Sichtung ist nie garantiert.
Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Knysna Turaco at stays in or beside Gondwana Game Reserve. 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 Knysna Turaco is most recorded in Western Cape (64% of records), Eastern Cape (20% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (10% of records), based on 1 427 iNaturalist observations. 24 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Knysna Turaco on site or nearby.
The Knysna Turaco 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. Gondwana Game Reserve: Sep-Apr, flowers Aug-Oct. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
The Knysna turaco (Tauraco corythaix), or, in South Africa, Knysna lourie, is a large turaco, one of a group of African near-passerine birds. It is a resident breeder in the mature evergreen forests of southern and eastern South Africa, and Swaziland. It was formerly sometimes considered to be a subspecies of the green turaco of West Africa.
