Ein Nachweis bedeutet, dass ein Gastgeber den Southern Grey-headed Sparrow auf dem Grundstück oder in der Nähe gesehen hat. Eine Sichtung ist nie garantiert.
Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Southern Grey-headed Sparrow at stays in or beside Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park and Kruger National 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 Southern Grey-headed Sparrow is most recorded in Western Cape (18% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (18% of records), Mpumalanga (14% of records), based on 3 504 iNaturalist observations. 52 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Southern Grey-headed Sparrow on site or nearby.
The Southern Grey-headed Sparrow 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. Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park: Aug-Oct, flowers, Mar-May; Kruger National Park: Apr-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
The southern grey-headed sparrow (Passer diffusus) is a passerine bird of the sparrow family Passeridae. It is sometimes treated as a subspecies of the grey-headed sparrow. It is found in savanna and woodland in Angola and Zambia southwards into South Africa, where it is expanding its range and is kept as a caged bird, like its relative the white-rumped seedeater.
