The green white-eye (Zosterops stuhlmanni) is a bird species in the family Zosteropidae. It is found in Tanzania, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The green white-eye was formerly treated as a subspecies of the African yellow white-eye (since renamed the northern yellow white-eye) (Zosterops senegalensis). It is now considered as a separate species based in part on the phylogenetic relationships determined in a 2013 molecular study.
Four subspecies are recognised: Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Green White-eye sighting in Akagera National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 311th most-seen of the 320 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, and over a week to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Green White-eye in Akagera 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 Green White-eye sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
10th of 10
Of the 10 parks where we can rate Green White-eye sightings, Akagera National Park ranks 10th at under 5%. The best odds are in Nyungwe National Park (Rwanda, about 60%), Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (Uganda, about 60%) and Volcanoes National Park (Rwanda, about 50%). All parks ranked.
Same order: Passeriformes
The closest relatives of the Green White-eye that you can see in Akagera National Park (order Passeriformes, Perching Birds) are Rüppell's Glossy-starling (about 70%), Common Bulbul (about 70%) and Fork-tailed Drongo (about 60%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Green White-eye is recorded against all the birds logged in Akagera National Park (5 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.
