Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Chinese Blue Flycatcher sighting in Bangkok on a given day, based on 91 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 155th most-seen of the 277 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, and over a week to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Chinese Blue Flycatcher in Bangkok on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Chinese Blue Flycatcher sightings, Bangkok ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Chengdu (China, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Chinese Blue Flycatcher is recorded against all the birds logged in Bangkok (91 verified sightings), 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.
