Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Red-fronted Barbet sighting in Ngorongoro Conservation Area on a given day, based on 75 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 305th most-seen of the 519 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April–May and September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Red-fronted Barbet in Ngorongoro Conservation Area on a given day, against under 5% in June–August and October–March, the lowest months.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Red-fronted Barbet sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
8th of 12
Of the 12 parks where we can rate Red-fronted Barbet sightings, Ngorongoro Conservation Area ranks 8th at under 5%. The best odds are in Serengeti National Park (Tanzania, about 10%), Nairobi National Park (Kenya, about 10%) and Kidepo Valley National Park (Uganda, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red-fronted Barbet is recorded against all the birds logged in Ngorongoro Conservation Area (75 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.
