Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Brown Warbler sighting in Arusha National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 352nd most-seen of the 373 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 Brown Warbler in Arusha National Park on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Brown Warbler sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 5
Of the 5 parks where we can rate Brown Warbler sightings, Arusha National Park ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Bale Mountains National Park (Ethiopia, about 20%), Nairobi National Park (Kenya, under 5%) and Ngorongoro Conservation Area (Tanzania, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Brown Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Arusha 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.
