Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Hinde's Pied-Babbler sighting in Nairobi on a given day, based on 24 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 151st most-seen of the 234 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hinde's Pied-Babbler in Nairobi on a given day, against under 5% in August to June, the lowest months. That is one of Nairobi's driest months, with about 25 mm of rain against 150 mm in April.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Hinde's Pied-Babbler sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Nairobi, in our data
Nairobi is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Hinde's Pied-Babbler sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hinde's Pied-Babbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Nairobi (24 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.
