With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Portuguese Smooth Newt sighting in Lisbon on a given day, based on 47 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 3rd most-seen of the 5 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Portuguese Smooth Newt in Lisbon on a given day, against under 5% in January, April and June–October, the lowest months.
Between 3 and 6 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Portuguese Smooth Newt sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Lisbon, in our data
Lisbon is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Portuguese Smooth Newt sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Portuguese Smooth Newt is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Lisbon (47 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.
