Of the 9 parks where we can rate Yellow-whiskered Greenbul sightings, Virunga National Park ranks 5th at about 20%. The best odds are in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (Uganda, about 50%), Nyungwe National Park (Rwanda, about 50%) and Semuliki National Park (Uganda, about 30%). All parks ranked.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow-whiskered Greenbul is recorded against all the birds logged in Virunga National Park (90 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.
