With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Green-backed Tit sighting in Chengdu on a given day, based on 82 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 30th 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 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
November
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Green-backed Tit in Chengdu on a given day, against under 5% in April–June and September, the lowest months. That is one of Chengdu's driest months, with about 25 mm of rain against 270 mm in August.
Between 2 and 5 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Green-backed Tit sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
3rd of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Green-backed Tit sightings, Chengdu ranks 3rd at about 10%. The best odds are in Guiyang (China, about 60%) and Kunming (China, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Green-backed Tit is recorded against all the birds logged in Chengdu (82 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.
