Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Red-eyed Puffback sighting in Yaoundé on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 51st most-seen of the 72 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Red-eyed Puffback in Yaoundé on a given day, against about 10% in May, August–September and December–February, the lowest months. March and June–July have too few records to rate.
Between 3 and 6 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Red-eyed Puffback sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Yaoundé, in our data
Yaoundé is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Red-eyed Puffback sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Malaconotidae
The closest relatives of the Red-eyed Puffback that you can see in Yaoundé (family Malaconotidae, Bushshrikes and Allies) are Brown-crowned Tchagra (about 10%) and Lühder's Bushshrike (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red-eyed Puffback is recorded against all the birds logged in Yaoundé (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.
