Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-whiskered Greenbul sighting in Kampala on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 272nd most-seen of the 332 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-whiskered Greenbul in Kampala on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Yellow-whiskered 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.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Yellow-whiskered Greenbul sightings, Kampala ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Nairobi (Kenya, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow-whiskered Greenbul is recorded against all the birds logged in Kampala (10 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.
