Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Hodgson's Redstart sighting in Chengdu on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 129th 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.
February
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hodgson's Redstart in Chengdu on a given day, against under 5% in March to January, the lowest months. That is one of Chengdu's driest months, with about 15 mm of rain against 270 mm in August.
Between 3 and 6 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Hodgson's Redstart sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Hodgson's Redstart sightings, Chengdu ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Kathmandu (Nepal, about 10%).
Same genus: Phoenicurus
The closest relatives of the Hodgson's Redstart that you can see in Chengdu (genus Phoenicurus, True Redstarts) are Daurian Redstart (about 20%) and Plumbeous Water Redstart (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hodgson's Redstart is recorded against all the birds logged in Chengdu (6 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.
