Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Long-tailed Minivet sighting in Beijing on a given day, based on 47 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 217th 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 Long-tailed Minivet 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 Long-tailed Minivet sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
10th of 11
Of the 11 cities where we can rate Long-tailed Minivet sightings, Beijing ranks 10th at under 5%. The best odds are in Kathmandu (Nepal, about 10%), Guiyang (China, about 10%) and Dehradun (India, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Long-tailed Minivet is recorded against all the birds logged in Beijing (47 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.
