With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pygmy Honeyeater sighting in Raja Ampat on a given day, based on 92 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 100th most-seen of the 200 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Pygmy Honeyeater in Raja Ampat on a given day, against under 5% in January, April and October, the lowest months. That is one of Raja Ampat's wettest months, with about 360 mm of rain against 180 mm in October.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pygmy Honeyeater 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 Raja Ampat, in our data
Raja Ampat is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Pygmy Honeyeater sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pygmy Honeyeater is recorded against all the birds logged in Raja Ampat (92 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.
