Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Grey-hooded Warbler sighting in Chitwan National Park on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 323rd most-seen of the 367 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Grey-hooded Warbler in Chitwan National Park on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 2 and 5 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Grey-hooded Warbler sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
5th of 5
Of the 5 parks where we can rate Grey-hooded Warbler sightings, Chitwan National Park ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Langtang National Park (Nepal, about 40%), Royal Manas National Park (Bhutan, about 30%) and Jim Corbett National Park (India, about 20%).
Same genus: Phylloscopus
The closest relatives of the Grey-hooded Warbler that you can see in Chitwan National Park (genus Phylloscopus, Leaf Warblers) are Greenish Warbler (about 30%), Hume's Warbler (about 10%) and Smoky Warbler (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Grey-hooded Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Chitwan National Park (10 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.
