Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Fire-fronted Bishop sighting in Samburu National Reserve on a given day, based on 20 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 264th most-seen of the 341 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Fire-fronted Bishop in Samburu National Reserve on a given day, against under 5% in March to January, the lowest months. That is one of Samburu National Reserve's driest months, with about 10 mm of rain against 95 mm in April.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Fire-fronted Bishop sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 3
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Fire-fronted Bishop sightings, Samburu National Reserve ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Tsavo East National Park (Kenya, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Fire-fronted Bishop is recorded against all the birds logged in Samburu National Reserve (20 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.
