Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Evergreen-forest Warbler sighting in Nyungwe National Park on a given day, based on 32 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 167th most-seen of the 252 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 and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Evergreen-forest Warbler in Nyungwe National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February–September and November–December, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon

4th of 5
Of the 5 parks where we can rate Evergreen-forest Warbler sightings, Nyungwe National Park ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Arusha National Park (Tanzania, about 10%), Mkomazi National Park (Tanzania, about 10%) and Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (Uganda, under 5%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Evergreen-forest Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Nyungwe National Park (32 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.
