Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Brown Warbler sighting in Nairobi on a given day, based on 17 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 171st most-seen of the 234 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, and over a week to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Brown Warbler in Nairobi on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Brown 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.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Brown Warbler sightings, Nairobi ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Addis Ababa (Ethiopia, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Brown Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Nairobi (17 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.
