Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Sichuan Leaf-Warbler sighting in Chengdu on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 89th 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.
February, April and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Sichuan Leaf-Warbler in Chengdu on a given day, against under 5% in March, May–September and November–January, the lowest months. Those are among Chengdu's driest months, with about 50 mm of rain a month against 270 mm in August.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Sichuan Leaf-Warbler sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Only Chengdu, in our data
Chengdu is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Sichuan Leaf-Warbler sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Phylloscopus
The closest relatives of the Sichuan Leaf-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 Sichuan Leaf-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.
