Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Southern Fiddler 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 Phillip Island Nature Park, in our data
Phillip Island Nature Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Southern Fiddler sightings: about 40% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Southern Fiddler is recorded against all the sharks and rays logged in Phillip Island Nature 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.
