Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Gray-olive Greenbul sighting in Kafue National Park on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 256th most-seen of the 338 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.
April, July and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Gray-olive Greenbul in Kafue National Park on a given day, against under 5% in May–June, August–September and November–March, the lowest months. Those are among Kafue National Park's driest months, with about 15 mm of rain a month against 290 mm in January.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Gray-olive 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.
4th of 7
Of the 7 parks where we can rate Gray-olive Greenbul sightings, Kafue National Park ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Meru National Park (Kenya, about 10%), Arusha National Park (Tanzania, about 10%) and Mikumi National Park (Tanzania, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Gray-olive Greenbul is recorded against all the birds logged in Kafue National Park (18 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.
