Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Shining Drongo sighting in Taï National Park on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 27th most-seen of the 74 birds 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.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Shining Drongo sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Taï National Park, in our data
Taï National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Shining Drongo sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Shining Drongo is recorded against all the birds logged in Taï National Park (10 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.
