Where they are found:Endemic to the central and western regions of Southern Africa. Particularly common in agricultural areas of the western Cape and Free State, where it probably benefits from insect pests in wheat- and maize fields. Numbers are estimated to be 100 000. Absent from the Namib desert coastal strip, neither does it occur in the high-rainfall southern coastal areas of the Eastern Cape, most of KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga and the Northern Province’s lowveld area. |
