With luck

It is the 87th most-seen of the 131 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.
February–May and October–December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Sun Lark in Abuja on a given day, against under 5% in January and June–September, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Sun Lark is recorded against all the birds logged in Abuja (14 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.
