Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Stout Cisticola sighting in Addis Ababa on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 101st most-seen of the 109 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Stout Cisticola in Addis Ababa on a given day, against under 5% in February to December, the lowest months. That is one of Addis Ababa's driest months, with about 10 mm of rain against 250 mm in August.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Stout Cisticola 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 2 cities where we can rate Stout Cisticola sightings, Addis Ababa ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Nairobi (Kenya, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Stout Cisticola is recorded against all the birds logged in Addis Ababa (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.
