Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-breasted Barbet sighting in Awash National Park on a given day, based on 34 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 63rd most-seen of the 217 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-breasted Barbet in Awash National Park on a given day, against about 10% in November, the lowest month. That is one of Awash National Park's wettest months, with about 75 mm of rain against 10 mm in January. February–March, May and September have too few records to rate.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Yellow-breasted Barbet sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Awash National Park, in our data
Awash National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Yellow-breasted Barbet sightings: about 30% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow-breasted Barbet is recorded against all the birds logged in Awash National Park (34 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.
