About the Green White-eye

The green white-eye (Zosterops stuhlmanni) is a bird species in the family Zosteropidae. It is found in Tanzania, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The green white-eye was formerly treated as a subspecies of the African yellow white-eye (since renamed the northern yellow white-eye) (Zosterops senegalensis). It is now considered as a separate species based in part on the phylogenetic relationships determined in a 2013 molecular study.

Four subspecies are recognised: Wikipedia →

Before you go

What are the chances of seeing a Green White-eye in Murchison Falls National Park?

Rare

Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Green White-eye sighting in Murchison Falls National Park on a given day, based on 30 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 255th most-seen of the 424 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.

When is the best time to see a Green White-eye in Murchison Falls National Park?

January and February

In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Green White-eye in Murchison Falls National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March to December, the lowest months. Those are among Murchison Falls National Park's driest months, with about 15 mm of rain a month against 190 mm in October.

What time of day is best to see a Green White-eye?

Between 8 and 11 am

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Green White-eye sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

Where does the Green White-eye sighting chance come from?

GBIF citizen-science records

It is estimated from how often the Green White-eye is recorded against all the birds logged in Murchison Falls National Park (30 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.
