Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Southern Hyliota sighting in Harare on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 186th most-seen of the 213 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, and over a week to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Southern Hyliota in Harare on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Southern Hyliota 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 Harare, in our data
Harare is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Southern Hyliota sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Passeriformes
The closest relatives of the Southern Hyliota that you can see in Harare (order Passeriformes, Perching Birds) are Common Bulbul (about 90%), Pied Crow (about 90%) and Blue-breasted Cordonbleu (about 70%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Southern Hyliota is recorded against all the birds logged in Harare (7 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.
