Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report a Banded Pitta sighting in Bali Barat National Park on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 27th most-seen of the 173 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Banded Pitta in Bali Barat National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January and June, the lowest months. That is one of Bali Barat National Park's driest months, with about 20 mm of rain against 280 mm in February.
Between 2 and 5 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Banded Pitta sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Only Bali Barat National Park, in our data
Bali Barat National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Banded Pitta sightings: about 40% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Passeriformes
The closest relatives of the Banded Pitta that you can see in Bali Barat National Park (order Passeriformes, Perching Birds) are Yellow-vented Bulbul (about 80%), Bali Myna (about 70%) and Common Iora (about 70%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Banded Pitta is recorded against all the birds logged in Bali Barat National Park (19 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.
