Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Large-billed Gerygone sighting in Kakadu National Park on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 175th most-seen of the 186 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Large-billed Gerygone in Kakadu National Park on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season. February has too few records to rate.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Large-billed Gerygone sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Large-billed Gerygone sightings, Kakadu National Park ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Daintree National Park (Australia, about 50%) and Raja Ampat (Indonesia, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Large-billed Gerygone is recorded against all the birds logged in Kakadu National Park (8 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.
