With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Grey Albatross sighting in Daintree National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 745th most-seen of the 856 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August to October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Grey Albatross in Daintree National Park on a given day, against under 5% in November to July, the lowest months. Those are among Daintree National Park's driest months, with about 55 mm of rain a month against 380 mm in January.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Grey Albatross sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Daintree National Park, in our data
Daintree National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Grey Albatross sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Grey Albatross is recorded against all the insects logged in Daintree National Park (5 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
