With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Turati's Boubou sighting in Freetown on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 67th most-seen of the 79 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January and February
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Turati's Boubou in Freetown on a given day, against under 5% in May–June, September and December, the lowest months. Those are among Freetown's driest months, with almost no rain against 700 mm in August. March–April, July–August and October–November have too few records to rate.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Turati's Boubou 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 Freetown, in our data
Freetown is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Turati's Boubou sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Malaconotidae
The closest relatives of the Turati's Boubou that you can see in Freetown (family Malaconotidae, Bushshrikes and Allies) are Northern Puffback (about 10%) and Sulphur-Breasted Bushshrike (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Turati's Boubou is recorded against all the birds logged in Freetown (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.
