Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Brown-backed Scrub Robin sighting in Nairobi on a given day, based on 20 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 163rd most-seen of the 234 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, and over a week to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Brown-backed Scrub Robin in Nairobi on a given day, against under 5% in May to March, the lowest months. That is one of Nairobi's wettest months, with about 150 mm of rain against 25 mm in July.
2nd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Brown-backed Scrub Robin sightings, Nairobi ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Kigali (Rwanda, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Brown-backed Scrub Robin is recorded against all the birds logged in Nairobi (20 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.
