With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Red-throated Myzomela sighting in Raja Ampat on a given day, based on 76 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 115th 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 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and July–December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Red-throated Myzomela in Raja Ampat on a given day, against under 5% in January–April and June, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Red-throated Myzomela sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 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 Red-throated Myzomela sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red-throated Myzomela is recorded against all the birds logged in Raja Ampat (76 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.
