Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Miombo Wren-Warbler sighting in Masai Mara National Reserve on a given day, based on 60 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 264th most-seen of the 398 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February, April and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Miombo Wren-Warbler in Masai Mara National Reserve on a given day, against under 5% in March, May–October and December–January, the lowest months. Those are among Masai Mara National Reserve's wettest months, with about 100 mm of rain a month against 15 mm in July.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Miombo Wren-Warbler sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 4
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Miombo Wren-Warbler sightings, Masai Mara National Reserve ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Ruaha National Park (Tanzania, about 20%) and Akagera National Park (Rwanda, about 10%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Miombo Wren-Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Masai Mara National Reserve (60 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.
