Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Red-throated Alethe sighting in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park on a given day, based on 309 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 93rd most-seen of the 400 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April–August and November–December
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Red-throated Alethe in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park on a given day, against about 10% in January–March and September–October, the lowest months.
Between 3 and 6 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Red-throated Alethe sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Red-throated Alethe sightings, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park ranks 2nd at about 20%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Nyungwe National Park (Rwanda, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red-throated Alethe is recorded against all the birds logged in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (309 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.
