Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Slaty-blue Flycatcher sighting in Chengdu on a given day, based on 24 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 86th 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.
September
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Slaty-blue Flycatcher in Chengdu on a given day, against under 5% in November to August, the lowest months. That is one of Chengdu's wettest months, with about 140 mm of rain against 10 mm in January.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Slaty-blue Flycatcher sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Slaty-blue Flycatcher sightings, Chengdu ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Dehradun (India, about 10%).
Same genus: Ficedula
The closest relatives of the Slaty-blue Flycatcher that you can see in Chengdu (genus Ficedula, Ficedula Flycatchers) are Taiga Flycatcher (about 10%) and Snowy-browed Flycatcher (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Slaty-blue Flycatcher is recorded against all the birds logged in Chengdu (24 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.
