Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Rufous-crowned Eremomela sighting in Semuliki National Park on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 209th 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.
August and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Rufous-crowned Eremomela in Semuliki National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January–July and September–November, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Rufous-crowned Eremomela sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 3
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Rufous-crowned Eremomela sightings, Semuliki National Park ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Odzala-Kokoua National Park (Republic of the Congo, about 20%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Rufous-crowned Eremomela is recorded against all the birds logged in Semuliki National Park (11 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.
