About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Madagascar Sunbird sighting in Ankarafantsika National Park on a given day, based on 130 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 39th most-seen of the 83 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September and October
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Madagascar Sunbird in Ankarafantsika National Park on a given day, against about 10% in July, the lowest month. Those are among Ankarafantsika National Park's driest months, with about 20 mm of rain a month against 560 mm in January. January–March and May have too few records to rate.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Madagascar Sunbird is recorded against all the birds logged in Ankarafantsika National Park (130 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.
