The western nicator (Nicator chloris) is a species of songbird in the family Nicatoridae. It is very similar to the eastern nicator, but the sides of the face and crown are olive green. It is best identified by its range and some of its vocalizations.
It is mainly native to the African tropical rainforest. It inhabits subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical swamps. It prefers well-established secondary growth forest from 700 to 1,850 metres (2,300 to 6,070 ft).

Likely
About 60% of wildlife watchers report a Western Nicator sighting in Semuliki National Park on a given day, based on 269 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 7th most-seen of the 280 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 90%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August
In that month about 80% of wildlife watchers report a Western Nicator in Semuliki National Park on a given day, against about 40% in June, the lowest month. That is one of Semuliki National Park's wettest months, with about 120 mm of rain against 5 mm in January.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Western Nicator sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 5 parks where we can rate Western Nicator sightings, Semuliki National Park has the highest daily chance: about 60%. Next come Kibale National Park (Uganda, about 40%) and Taï National Park (Ivory Coast, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Western Nicator is recorded against all the birds logged in Semuliki National Park (269 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.
