Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Green-throated Sunbird sighting in Kampala on a given day, based on 79 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 138th most-seen of the 332 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and July–August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Green-throated Sunbird in Kampala on a given day, against under 5% in June and September–April, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Green-throated Sunbird sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Kampala, in our data
Kampala is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Green-throated Sunbird sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Green-throated Sunbird is recorded against all the birds logged in Kampala (79 verified sightings), 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.
