Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Green Sunbird sighting in Semuliki National Park on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 203rd most-seen of the 280 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.
December
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Green Sunbird in Semuliki National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January–April and June–November, the lowest months. That is one of Semuliki National Park's driest months, with about 40 mm of rain against 140 mm in May.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Green Sunbird sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 4
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Green Sunbird sightings, Semuliki National Park ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Odzala-Kokoua National Park (Republic of the Congo, about 20%), Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (Uganda, about 10%) and Kibale National Park (Uganda, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Green Sunbird is recorded against all the birds logged in Semuliki National Park (12 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.
