Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Evergreen-forest Warbler sighting in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park on a given day, based on 82 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 210th most-seen of the 400 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Evergreen-forest Warbler in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June, August–September and December–April, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Evergreen-forest 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.
3rd of 5
Of the 5 parks where we can rate Evergreen-forest Warbler sightings, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Arusha National Park (Tanzania, about 10%) and Mkomazi National Park (Tanzania, about 10%).
Same genus: Bradypterus
The closest relatives of the Evergreen-forest Warbler that you can see in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (genus Bradypterus, Bradypterus Warblers) are Grauer's Swamp-Warbler (about 10%) and Cinnamon Bracken-Warbler (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Evergreen-forest Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (82 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.
