Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Dusky Twinspot sighting in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park on a given day, based on 64 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 226th most-seen of the 400 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Dusky Twinspot in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February–June and August–December, the lowest months. Those are among Bwindi Impenetrable National Park's driest months, with about 85 mm of rain a month against 320 mm in October.
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 Dusky Twinspot sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Estrildidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Dusky Twinspot is recorded against all the birds logged in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (64 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.
