Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pink-footed Puffback sighting in Kibale National Park on a given day, based on 40 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 244th 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.
February and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pink-footed Puffback in Kibale National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March–July and September–January, the lowest months.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pink-footed Puffback 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 Pink-footed Puffback sightings, Kibale National Park ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (Uganda, about 30%) and Nyungwe National Park (Rwanda, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pink-footed Puffback is recorded against all the birds logged in Kibale National Park (40 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.
