Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Ashy-throated Warbler sighting in Chengdu on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 94th most-seen of the 156 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January–February and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Ashy-throated Warbler in Chengdu on a given day, against under 5% in March–October and December, the lowest months. Those are among Chengdu's driest months, with about 20 mm of rain a month against 270 mm in August.
Between 4 and 7 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Ashy-throated Warbler 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.
2nd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Ashy-throated Warbler sightings, Chengdu ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Chongqing (China, about 10%).
Same genus: Phylloscopus
The closest relatives of the Ashy-throated Warbler that you can see in Chengdu (genus Phylloscopus, Leaf Warblers) are Pallas's Leaf-Warbler (about 20%) and Yellow-browed Warbler (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ashy-throated Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Chengdu (15 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.
