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 923 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 Green-winged Pytilia op of bij het terrein heeft gezien. Een waarneming is nooit gegarandeerd.
Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Green-winged Pytilia at stays in or beside Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, Phinda Private Game Reserve, Kruger National Park, Sabi Sand Game Reserve 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 Green-winged Pytilia is most recorded in Limpopo (39% of records), Mpumalanga (23% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (17% of records), based on 923 iNaturalist observations. 23 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Green-winged Pytilia on site or nearby.
The Green-winged Pytilia 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; Phinda Private Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep; Kruger National Park: Apr-Sep; Sabi Sand Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep optimal. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
