Where does the Kilimanjaro White-eye sighting chance come from?

GBIF citizen-science records

It is estimated from how often the Kilimanjaro White-eye is recorded against all the birds logged in Arusha National Park (320 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.
