Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Golden-Haired Firetail sighting in Maria Island National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 4th most-seen of the 7 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
December and January
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Golden-Haired Firetail in Maria Island National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February–May and July–November, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Golden-Haired Firetail sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Maria Island National Park, in our data
Maria Island National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Golden-Haired Firetail sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Golden-Haired Firetail is recorded against all the insects logged in Maria Island National Park (7 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.
