Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Hunter's Sunbird sighting in Amboseli National Park on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 316th most-seen of the 362 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, and over a week to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Hunter's Sunbird in Amboseli National Park on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Hunter's Sunbird sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
6th of 6
Of the 6 parks where we can rate Hunter's Sunbird sightings, Amboseli National Park ranks 6th at under 5%. The best odds are in Tsavo West National Park (Kenya, about 40%), Mkomazi National Park (Tanzania, about 30%) and Tsavo East National Park (Kenya, about 30%). All parks ranked.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hunter's Sunbird is recorded against all the birds logged in Amboseli National Park (8 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
