Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a White-browed Scimitar-Babbler sighting in Dehradun on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 235th most-seen of the 280 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a White-browed Scimitar-Babbler in Dehradun on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 3 and 6 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most White-browed Scimitar-Babbler sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Only Dehradun, in our data
Dehradun is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate White-browed Scimitar-Babbler sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-browed Scimitar-Babbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Dehradun (16 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.
