Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Blue-throated Brown Sunbird sighting in Kampala on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 227th most-seen of the 332 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 Blue-throated Brown Sunbird in Kampala 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 Blue-throated Brown Sunbird sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Kampala, in our data
Kampala is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Blue-throated Brown Sunbird sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Cyanomitra

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Blue-throated Brown Sunbird is recorded against all the birds logged in Kampala (19 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.
