With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Grant's Bluebill sighting in Semuliki National Park on a given day, based on 45 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 123rd most-seen of the 280 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January–February and September
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Grant's Bluebill in Semuliki National Park on a given day, against under 5% in May, the lowest month. Those are among Semuliki National Park's driest months, with about 45 mm of rain a month against 140 mm in May.
Only Semuliki National Park, in our data
Semuliki National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Grant's Bluebill sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Grant's Bluebill is recorded against all the birds logged in Semuliki National Park (45 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.
