Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Sandstone Shrike-Thrush sighting in Kakadu National Park on a given day, based on 356 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 67th most-seen of the 186 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Sandstone Shrike-Thrush in Kakadu National Park on a given day, against about 10% in April and May, the lowest months. That is one of Kakadu National Park's driest months, with about 25 mm of rain against 350 mm in January. 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 Sandstone Shrike-Thrush sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Sandstone Shrike-Thrush is recorded against all the birds logged in Kakadu National Park (356 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.
