Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Fawn-colored Lark sighting in Arusha National Park on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 295th most-seen of the 373 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April and May
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Fawn-colored Lark in Arusha National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June to March, the lowest months. Those are among Arusha National Park's wettest months, with about 320 mm of rain a month against 65 mm in September.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Fawn-colored Lark sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
12th of 17
Of the 17 parks where we can rate Fawn-colored Lark sightings, Arusha National Park ranks 12th at under 5%. The best odds are in Samburu National Reserve (Kenya, about 40%), Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park (South Africa, about 20%) and Tarangire National Park (Tanzania, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Fawn-colored Lark is recorded against all the birds logged in Arusha National Park (11 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.
