Establishment of a resident pair of Scaly-feathered Finch in the Makuleke Contract Park, Northern Kruger National Park

Abstract

Over a period of 15 months Scaly-feathered Finch squamifrons sightings were recording on a monthly bird monitoring data sheet, based on guide sightings for that month. Nesting and breeding behaviour was documented over this period recorded in which months observations were made. This is the first documentation of Scaly-feathered Finch breeding and residing in the Makuleke Contract Park, Northern Kruger National Park.
