Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Spotted Greenbul sighting in Odzala-Kokoua National Park on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 9th most-seen of the 72 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Spotted Greenbul sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Odzala-Kokoua National Park, in our data

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Spotted Greenbul is recorded against all the birds logged in Odzala-Kokoua National 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.
