Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report an Uganda blue-headed tree agama sighting in Kampala on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 3rd most-seen of the 6 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February–April, June and September
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report an Uganda blue-headed tree agama in Kampala on a given day, against under 5% in July and October–December, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Uganda blue-headed tree agama 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 Uganda blue-headed tree agama sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Agamidae
The closest relatives of the Uganda blue-headed tree agama that you can see in Kampala (family Agamidae, Dragons) are Finch’s agama (about 20%) and African Redhead Agama (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Uganda blue-headed tree agama is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Kampala (14 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.
