Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Red-throated Sunbird sighting in Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 182nd most-seen of the 231 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.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red-throated Sunbird is recorded against all the birds logged in Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary (18 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.
