About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Sooty Boubou sighting in Semuliki National Park on a given day, based on 130 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 46th most-seen of the 280 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.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Sooty Boubou is recorded against all the birds logged in Semuliki National Park (130 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.
