With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Black-chinned Yuhina sighting in Chengdu on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 33rd most-seen of the 156 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Black-chinned Yuhina in Chengdu on a given day, against under 5% in March to December, the lowest months. That is one of Chengdu's driest months, with about 15 mm of rain against 270 mm in August.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Black-chinned Yuhina sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Black-chinned Yuhina sightings, Chengdu has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Chongqing (China, about 10%) and Guiyang (China, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black-chinned Yuhina is recorded against all the birds logged in Chengdu (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.
