Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Brown Illadopsis sighting in Lake Mburo National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 336th most-seen of the 362 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Brown Illadopsis in Lake Mburo National Park on a given day, against under 5% in November to September, the lowest months. That is one of Lake Mburo National Park's wettest months, with about 95 mm of rain against 15 mm in July.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Brown Illadopsis 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 Brown Illadopsis sightings, Lake Mburo National Park ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Kibale National Park (Uganda, about 30%), Semuliki National Park (Uganda, about 20%) and Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (Uganda, under 5%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Brown Illadopsis is recorded against all the birds logged in Lake Mburo National Park (7 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.
