Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Plain Greenbul sighting in Virunga National Park on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 224th most-seen of the 316 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.
March
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Plain Greenbul in Virunga National Park on a given day, against under 5% in May to February, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Plain Greenbul sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 6
Of the 6 parks where we can rate Plain Greenbul sightings, Virunga National Park ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (Uganda, about 20%), Kibale National Park (Uganda, about 20%) and Semuliki National Park (Uganda, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Plain Greenbul is recorded against all the birds logged in Virunga National Park (14 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.
