Question 6

Where does the Red-faced Crombec sighting chance come from?

Accepted Answer

GBIF citizen-science records. It is estimated from how often the Red-faced Crombec 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.
