Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Levaillant's Woodpecker sighting in Algiers on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 28th most-seen of the 49 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.
November
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Levaillant's Woodpecker in Algiers on a given day, against under 5% in March, May–August and December–January, the lowest months. That is one of Algiers's wettest months, with about 90 mm of rain against 5 mm in July.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Levaillant's Woodpecker 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 Algiers, in our data
Algiers is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Levaillant's Woodpecker sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Levaillant's Woodpecker is recorded against all the birds logged in Algiers (8 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.
