Een waarneming betekent dat een gastheer de Pin-tailed Whydah op of bij het terrein heeft gezien. Een waarneming is nooit gegarandeerd.
Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Pin-tailed Whydah at stays in or beside Kruger National Park and Marakele 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 Pin-tailed Whydah is most recorded in Western Cape (45% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (21% of records), Gauteng (12% of records), based on 2 978 iNaturalist observations. 46 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Pin-tailed Whydah on site or nearby.
The Pin-tailed Whydah 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; Marakele National Park: May-Sep, dry season. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
The pin-tailed whydah (Vidua macroura) is a small songbird with a conspicuous pennant-like tail in breeding males. It is a resident breeding bird in most of Africa south of the Sahara Desert.
