Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Spectacled Tetraka sighting in Mantadia National Park on a given day, based on 161 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 40th most-seen of the 98 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May
In that month about 70% of wildlife watchers report a Spectacled Tetraka in Mantadia National Park on a given day, against about 10% in December, the lowest month. That is one of Mantadia National Park's driest months, with about 80 mm of rain against 340 mm in January. January to April have too few records to rate.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Spectacled Tetraka sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Spectacled Tetraka sightings, Mantadia National Park ranks 2nd at about 30%. The best odds are in Ranomafana National Park (Madagascar, about 40%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Spectacled Tetraka is recorded against all the birds logged in Mantadia National Park (161 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.
