Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Brown Warbler sighting in Ngorongoro Conservation Area on a given day, based on 90 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 298th most-seen of the 519 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.
January, April and August–September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Brown Warbler in Ngorongoro Conservation Area on a given day, against under 5% in February–March, May–July and October–December, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Brown Warbler sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 5
Of the 5 parks where we can rate Brown Warbler sightings, Ngorongoro Conservation Area ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Bale Mountains National Park (Ethiopia, about 20%) and Nairobi National Park (Kenya, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Brown Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Ngorongoro Conservation Area (90 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.
