Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Mountain Paddy Field Frog sighting in Sinharaja Forest Reserve on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 21st most-seen of the 25 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Mountain Paddy Field Frog in Sinharaja Forest Reserve on a given day, against under 5% in January–February and October–November, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Mountain Paddy Field Frog sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Sinharaja Forest Reserve, in our data
Sinharaja Forest Reserve is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Mountain Paddy Field Frog sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Mountain Paddy Field Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Sinharaja Forest Reserve (19 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.
