Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Chestnut-winged Starling sighting in Kibale National Park on a given day, based on 25 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 249th most-seen of the 366 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, and over a week to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Chestnut-winged Starling in Kibale National Park on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Chestnut-winged Starling sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Chestnut-winged Starling sightings, Kibale National Park ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (Uganda, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Chestnut-winged Starling is recorded against all the birds logged in Kibale National Park (25 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.
