Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Temminck's Babbler sighting in Kinabalu Park on a given day, based on 622 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 39th most-seen of the 247 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February, May–July, October and December
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Temminck's Babbler in Kinabalu Park on a given day, against about 10% in April and September, the lowest months.
Between midnight and 3 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Temminck's Babbler sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Only Kinabalu Park, in our data
Kinabalu Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Temminck's Babbler sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Temminck's Babbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Kinabalu Park (622 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.
