Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Grey Tit-Flycatcher sighting in South Luangwa National Park on a given day, based on 20 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 184th most-seen of the 257 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Grey Tit-Flycatcher sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
12th of 21
Of the 21 parks where we can rate Grey Tit-Flycatcher sightings, South Luangwa National Park ranks 12th at under 5%. The best odds are in uMkhuze Game Reserve (South Africa, about 20%), Kibale National Park (Uganda, about 20%) and Niokolo-Koba National Park (Senegal, about 10%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Grey Tit-Flycatcher is recorded against all the birds logged in South Luangwa National Park (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.
