With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Gray-olive Greenbul sighting in Arusha National Park on a given day, based on 41 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 185th most-seen of the 373 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May–August and October–January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Gray-olive Greenbul in Arusha National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February–April and September, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Gray-olive Greenbul sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 7 parks where we can rate Gray-olive Greenbul sightings, Arusha National Park ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Meru National Park (Kenya, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Gray-olive Greenbul is recorded against all the birds logged in Arusha National Park (41 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.
