With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Buff-throated Sunbird sighting in Abidjan on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 51st most-seen of the 58 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April and August–September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Buff-throated Sunbird in Abidjan on a given day, against under 5% in May–July and October–March, the lowest months.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Buff-throated Sunbird sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Abidjan, in our data
Abidjan is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Buff-throated Sunbird sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Nectariniidae
The closest relatives of the Buff-throated Sunbird that you can see in Abidjan (family Nectariniidae, Sunbirds and Spiderhunters) are Copper Sunbird (about 20%), Splendid Sunbird (about 10%) and Collared Sunbird (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Buff-throated Sunbird is recorded against all the birds logged in Abidjan (5 verified sightings), 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.
