Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Hume's White-eye sighting in Kinabalu Park on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 206th most-seen of the 247 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 Hume's White-eye in Kinabalu Park 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 Hume's White-eye 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 4
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Hume's White-eye sightings, Kinabalu Park ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Khao Yai National Park (Thailand, about 20%), Kaeng Krachan National Park (Thailand, about 10%) and Taman Negara National Park (Malaysia, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hume's White-eye is recorded against all the birds logged in Kinabalu Park (15 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.
