With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Swamp Flycatcher sighting in Bujumbura on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 40th most-seen of the 46 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Swamp Flycatcher in Bujumbura on a given day, against under 5% in February and December, the lowest months. That is one of Bujumbura's driest months, with about 30 mm of rain against 340 mm in November. January, March–May and July–August have too few records to rate.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Swamp Flycatcher sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Swamp Flycatcher sightings, Bujumbura ranks 3rd at about 10%. The best odds are in Kigali (Rwanda, about 30%) and Kampala (Uganda, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Swamp Flycatcher is recorded against all the birds logged in Bujumbura (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.
