Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Hunter's Cisticola sighting in Nairobi on a given day, based on 29 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 142nd 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.
November and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hunter's Cisticola in Nairobi on a given day, against under 5% in January to October, the lowest months. Those are among Nairobi's wettest months, with about 100 mm of rain a month against 25 mm in July.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Hunter's Cisticola sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 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 Hunter's Cisticola sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Cisticola
The closest relatives of the Hunter's Cisticola that you can see in Nairobi (genus Cisticola, Cisticolas) are Singing Cisticola (about 30%), Red-faced Cisticola (about 20%) and Winding Cisticola (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hunter's Cisticola is recorded against all the birds logged in Nairobi (29 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.
