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.

Ein Nachweis bedeutet, dass ein Gastgeber den Yellow-billed Kite auf dem Grundstück oder in der Nähe gesehen hat. Eine Sichtung ist nie garantiert.
Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Yellow-billed Kite at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, Timbavati Private Nature Reserve and Welgevonden 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 Yellow-billed Kite is most recorded in KwaZulu-Natal (40% of records), Western Cape (37% of records), Mpumalanga (9% of records), based on 3 165 iNaturalist observations. 64 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Yellow-billed Kite on site or nearby.
The Yellow-billed Kite 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; Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park: Aug-Oct, flowers, Mar-May; Timbavati Private Nature Reserve: May-Sep, dry season; Welgevonden Game Reserve: May-Sep, dry season. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
The black kite (Milvus migrans) is a medium-sized bird of prey in the family Accipitridae, which also includes many other diurnal raptors. It is thought to be the world's most abundant species of Accipitridae, although some populations have experienced dramatic declines or fluctuations. Current global population estimates run up to 6 million individuals.
