Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Black-throated Wattle-eye sighting in Nairobi on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 197th most-seen of the 234 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 Black-throated Wattle-eye in Nairobi on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Black-throated Wattle-eye sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
6th of 7
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Black-throated Wattle-eye sightings, Nairobi ranks 6th at under 5%. The best odds are in Mombasa (Kenya, about 20%), Dar es-Salaam (Tanzania, about 10%) and Lilongwe (Malawi, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black-throated Wattle-eye is recorded against all the birds logged in Nairobi (10 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.
