With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Fujian Niltava sighting in Changsha on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 60th most-seen of the 67 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Fujian Niltava in Changsha on a given day, against under 5% in March to December, the lowest months. That is one of Changsha's driest months, with about 70 mm of rain against 240 mm in June.
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.
Yes
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Fujian Niltava sightings, Changsha has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Chengdu (China, under 5%) and Guangzhou (China, under 5%).
Same family: Muscicapidae
The closest relatives of the Fujian Niltava that you can see in Changsha (family Muscicapidae, Old World Flycatchers, Robins, and Chats) are Oriental Magpie-Robin (about 50%), Red-flanked Bluetail (about 30%) and Blue Whistling-Thrush (about 20%), 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 Changsha (5 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.
