Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Green-backed Gerygone sighting in Kakadu National Park on a given day, based on 50 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 131st most-seen of the 186 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.
March and June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Green-backed Gerygone in Kakadu National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April–May and July–January, the lowest months. February has too few records to rate.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Green-backed Gerygone sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 4
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Green-backed Gerygone sightings, Kakadu National Park ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Raja Ampat (Indonesia, about 30%) and Litchfield National Park (Australia, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Green-backed Gerygone is recorded against all the birds logged in Kakadu National Park (50 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.
