Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Green-throated Sunbird sighting in Queen Elizabeth National Park on a given day, based on 17 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 323rd most-seen of the 434 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, and over a week to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.

In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Green-throated Sunbird in Queen Elizabeth National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March to January, the lowest months. That is one of Queen Elizabeth National Park's driest months, with about 25 mm of rain against 150 mm in April.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Green-throated Sunbird sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 4

The best odds are in Kibale National Park (Uganda, about 20%), Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (Uganda, about 10%) and Virunga National Park (Democratic Republic of the Congo, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Green-throated Sunbird is recorded against all the birds logged in Queen Elizabeth National Park (17 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.
