Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Fujian Niltava sighting in Beijing on a given day, based on 24 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 269th most-seen of the 324 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 Fujian Niltava in Beijing on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 3 and 6 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Fujian Niltava sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
4th of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Fujian Niltava sightings, Beijing ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Changsha (China, about 10%), Chengdu (China, under 5%) and Guangzhou (China, under 5%).
Same family: Muscicapidae
The closest relatives of the Fujian Niltava that you can see in Beijing (family Muscicapidae, Old World Flycatchers, Robins, and Chats) are Taiga Flycatcher (about 20%), Daurian Redstart (about 10%) and Amur Stonechat (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Fujian Niltava is recorded against all the birds logged in Beijing (24 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.
