Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Bob-tailed Weaver sighting in Brazzaville on a given day, based on 21 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 43rd most-seen of the 82 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Bob-tailed Weaver in Brazzaville on a given day, against about 10% in January–February and November, the lowest months. That is one of Brazzaville's wettest months, with about 210 mm of rain against almost none in July. June has too few records to rate.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Bob-tailed Weaver 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 Brazzaville, in our data
Brazzaville is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Bob-tailed Weaver sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Ploceidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Bob-tailed Weaver is recorded against all the birds logged in Brazzaville (21 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.
