Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Karoo Scrub-Robin sighting in Table Mountain National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 220th most-seen of the 223 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Karoo Scrub-Robin in Table Mountain National Park on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Karoo Scrub-Robin sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 4
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Karoo Scrub-Robin sightings, Table Mountain National Park ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in West Coast National Park (South Africa, about 70%), Addo Elephant National Park (South Africa, about 20%) and De Hoop Nature Reserve (South Africa, about 10%).
Same family: Muscicapidae
The closest relatives of the Karoo Scrub-Robin that you can see in Table Mountain National Park (family Muscicapidae, Old World Flycatchers, Robins, and Chats) are Cape Robin-Chat (about 60%), African Dusky Flycatcher (about 30%) and Familiar Chat (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Karoo Scrub-Robin is recorded against all the birds logged in Table Mountain National Park (7 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.
