Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Red-tailed Ant-Thrush sighting in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park on a given day, based on 25 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 267th most-seen of the 400 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, and over a week to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Red-tailed Ant-Thrush in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Red-tailed Ant-Thrush sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Red-tailed Ant-Thrush sightings, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Semuliki National Park (Uganda, about 50%) and Kibale National Park (Uganda, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red-tailed Ant-Thrush is recorded against all the birds logged in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (25 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.
