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 726 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.

Een waarneming betekent dat een gastheer de Black Harrier op of bij het terrein heeft gezien. Een waarneming is nooit gegarandeerd.
Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Black Harrier 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 Black Harrier is most recorded in Western Cape (82% of records), Eastern Cape (8% of records), Northern Cape (6% of records), based on 726 iNaturalist observations. 49 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Black Harrier on site or nearby.
The Black Harrier 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 Black Harrier (Circus maurus) is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List.
