Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Speckle-breasted Woodpecker sighting in Kampala on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 295th 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 Speckle-breasted Woodpecker in Kampala on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Only Kampala, in our data
Kampala is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Speckle-breasted Woodpecker sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Speckle-breasted Woodpecker is recorded against all the birds logged in Kampala (6 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.
