Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Cassin's Spinetail sighting in Kampala on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 272nd most-seen of the 332 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Cassin's Spinetail in Kampala on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 4 and 7 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Cassin's Spinetail 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 Kampala, in our data
Kampala is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Cassin's Spinetail sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Apodidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cassin's Spinetail is recorded against all the birds logged in Kampala (8 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.
