With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Streaked Weaver sighting in Lahore on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 63rd most-seen of the 72 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Streaked Weaver in Lahore on a given day, against under 5% in August–September and November–May, the lowest months. That is one of Lahore's driest months, with about 10 mm of rain against 160 mm in July. June and July have too few records to rate.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Streaked Weaver sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 22 cities where we can rate Streaked Weaver sightings, Lahore ranks 6th at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Makassar (Indonesia, about 10%), Ponnani (India, about 10%) and Vijayawada (India, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Streaked Weaver is recorded against all the birds logged in Lahore (5 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.
