The rufous-throated honeyeater (Conopophila rufogularis) is a species of bird in the family Meliphagidae. It is endemic to northern Australia. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical mangrove forests, but it also functions well in urban environments due to the lack of nest predators. Wikipedia →

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Rufous-throated Honeyeater sighting in Kakadu National Park on a given day, based on 89 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 120th most-seen of the 186 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May–July, September and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Rufous-throated Honeyeater in Kakadu National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March–April, August, October and December–January, the lowest months. Those are among Kakadu National Park's driest months, with about 30 mm of rain a month against 350 mm in January. February has too few records to rate.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Rufous-throated Honeyeater is recorded against all the birds logged in Kakadu National Park (89 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.
