With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Grey Tit-Flycatcher sighting in Niokolo-Koba National Park on a given day, based on 49 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 115th most-seen of the 215 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.

Those are among Niokolo-Koba National Park's driest months, with almost no rain against 300 mm in August. May–July and October have too few records to rate.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Grey Tit-Flycatcher sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Grey Tit-Flycatcher is recorded against all the birds logged in Niokolo-Koba National Park (49 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.
