Likely
About 50% of wildlife watchers report a Red-tailed Ant-Thrush sighting in Semuliki National Park on a given day, based on 241 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 11th most-seen of the 280 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 90%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February, June–August and December
In those months about 60% of wildlife watchers report a Red-tailed Ant-Thrush in Semuliki National Park on a given day, against about 40% in March and September–October, the lowest months.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Red-tailed Ant-Thrush sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Red-tailed Ant-Thrush sightings, Semuliki National Park has the highest daily chance: about 50%. Next come Kibale National Park (Uganda, about 10%) and Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (Uganda, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red-tailed Ant-Thrush is recorded against all the birds logged in Semuliki National Park (241 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.
