Northern Black Korhaan

Bustards & Korhaans / Northern Black Korhaan

Afrotis Afraoides (endemic)

I first recorded this noisy, endemic korhaan in June 2010 while on a game drive in Rietvlei Dam Nature Reserve near Irene in Centurian. This accessible nature reserve is a great spot for these birds, which share their open grasslands with rhino, buffalo, eland and many other plains game species.

According to “Roberts Geographic Variation of Southern African Birds” we have been able to see and photograph all 3 of the sub-species, whcih exist for this korhaan in southern Africa.
