Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Green Sunbird sighting in Kakum National Park on a given day, based on 135 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 84th most-seen of the 250 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Green Sunbird in Kakum National Park on a given day, against about 10% in March–April and June, the lowest months. That is one of Kakum National Park's wettest months, with about 220 mm of rain against 35 mm in January.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Green Sunbird sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 5 parks where we can rate Green Sunbird sightings, Kakum National Park has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Odzala-Kokoua National Park (Republic of the Congo, about 20%) and Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (Uganda, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Green Sunbird is recorded against all the birds logged in Kakum National Park (135 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.
