The green white-eye (Zosterops stuhlmanni) is a bird species in the family Zosteropidae. It is found in Tanzania, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The green white-eye was formerly treated as a subspecies of the African yellow white-eye (since renamed the northern yellow white-eye) (Zosterops senegalensis). It is now considered as a separate species based in part on the phylogenetic relationships determined in a 2013 molecular study.
Four subspecies are recognised: Wikipedia →

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Green White-eye sighting in Virunga National Park on a given day, based on 121 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 16th most-seen of the 316 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January, March, June and November
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Green White-eye in Virunga National Park on a given day, against about 10% in October and December, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Green White-eye 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 Green White-eye sightings, Virunga National Park ranks 5th at about 30%. The best odds are in Nyungwe National Park (Rwanda, about 60%), Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (Uganda, about 60%) and Volcanoes National Park (Rwanda, about 50%). All parks ranked.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Green White-eye is recorded against all the birds logged in Virunga National Park (121 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.
