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 1,192 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 Wood Sandpiper auf dem Grundstück oder in der Nähe gesehen hat. Eine Sichtung ist nie garantiert.
Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Wood Sandpiper at stays in or beside Kruger National Park and Madikwe 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 Wood Sandpiper is most recorded in Mpumalanga (33% of records), Limpopo (27% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (19% of records), based on 1 192 iNaturalist observations. 24 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Wood Sandpiper on site or nearby.
The Wood Sandpiper 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; Madikwe Game Reserve: Apr-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
The wood sandpiper (Tringa glareola) is a small wader. This Eurasian species is the smallest of the shanks, which are mid-sized long-legged waders of the family Scolopacidae. The genus name Tringa is the New Latin name given to the green sandpiper by Aldrovandus in 1599 based on Ancient Greek trungas, a thrush-sized, white-rumped, tail-bobbing wading bird mentioned by Aristotle.
