Very likely
About 70% of wildlife watchers report an Abyssinian Siskin sighting in Bale Mountains National Park on a given day, based on 188 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 8th most-seen of the 117 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January and October
In those months about 80% of wildlife watchers report an Abyssinian Siskin in Bale Mountains National Park on a given day, against about 50% in February and December, the lowest months. March 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 Abyssinian Siskin sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Bale Mountains National Park, in our data
Bale Mountains National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Abyssinian Siskin sightings: about 70% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Abyssinian Siskin is recorded against all the birds logged in Bale Mountains National Park (188 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.
