The little greenbul (Eurillas virens) is a species of the bulbul family of passerine birds. It is found in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa. The little greenbul was originally described in the genus Andropadus and was re-classified to the genus Eurillas in 2010. Alternatively, some authorities classify the little greenbul in the genus Pycnonotus.
Includes Hall's greenbul (Eurillas virens [hallae]), named after the British ornithologist Pat Hall and which is only known from a single specimen taken in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Hall's greenbul may be a melanistic form of E. v. zombensis... Wikipedia →

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Little Greenbul sighting in Taï National Park on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 15th most-seen of the 74 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Little Greenbul sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
5th of 10
Of the 10 parks where we can rate Little Greenbul sightings, Taï National Park ranks 5th at about 20%. The best odds are in Semuliki National Park (Uganda, about 50%), Kibale National Park (Uganda, about 50%) and Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (Uganda, about 30%). All parks ranked.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Little Greenbul is recorded against all the birds logged in Taï 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.
