Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Swamp Flycatcher sighting in Kigali on a given day, based on 381 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 33rd most-seen of the 244 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.

Of the 3 cities where we can rate Swamp Flycatcher sightings, Kigali has the highest daily chance: about 30%. Next come Kampala (Uganda, about 10%) and Bujumbura (Burundi, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Swamp Flycatcher is recorded against all the birds logged in Kigali (381 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.
