Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Chinese Blue Flycatcher sighting in Chengdu on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 125th most-seen of the 156 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, and over a week to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Chinese Blue Flycatcher in Chengdu on a given day, against under 5% in May to March, the lowest months.
Yes
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Chinese Blue Flycatcher sightings, Chengdu has the highest daily chance: under 5%. Next come Bangkok (Thailand, under 5%).
Same family: Muscicapidae
The closest relatives of the Chinese Blue Flycatcher that you can see in Chengdu (family Muscicapidae, Old World Flycatchers, Robins, and Chats) are Oriental Magpie-Robin (about 70%), Red-flanked Bluetail (about 20%) and Daurian Redstart (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Chinese Blue Flycatcher is recorded against all the birds logged in Chengdu (10 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.
