Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-throated Wood-Warbler sighting in Garden Route National Park on a given day, based on 258 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 48th most-seen of the 222 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-throated Wood-Warbler in Garden Route National Park on a given day, against about 10% in February and November, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Yellow-throated Wood-Warbler 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 Garden Route National Park, in our data
Garden Route National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Yellow-throated Wood-Warbler sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow-throated Wood-Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Garden Route National Park (258 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.
