Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Grey-hooded Warbler sighting in Dehradun on a given day, based on 1,495 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 30th most-seen of the 280 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Grey-hooded Warbler in Dehradun on a given day, against under 5% in April to September, the lowest months. That is one of Dehradun's driest months, with about 45 mm of rain against 370 mm in July.
Between 2 and 5 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Grey-hooded 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.
Yes
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Grey-hooded Warbler sightings, Dehradun has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Kathmandu (Nepal, about 20%) and Islamabad (Pakistan, about 10%).
Same genus: Phylloscopus
The closest relatives of the Grey-hooded Warbler that you can see in Dehradun (genus Phylloscopus, Leaf Warblers) are Hume's Warbler (about 40%), Pale-rumped Warbler (about 10%) and Greenish Warbler (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Grey-hooded Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Dehradun (1,495 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.
