Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Black-capped Apalis sighting in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 366th most-seen of the 400 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Black-capped Apalis in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Black-capped Apalis 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 Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, in our data
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Black-capped Apalis sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black-capped Apalis is recorded against all the birds logged in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (6 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.
