Likely
About 50% of wildlife watchers report a Blue-winged Minla sighting in Guiyang on a given day, based on 39 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 20th most-seen of the 79 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 90%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
November
In that month about 70% of wildlife watchers report a Blue-winged Minla in Guiyang on a given day, against about 30% in August, the lowest month. That is one of Guiyang's driest months, with about 40 mm of rain against 230 mm in June. February has too few records to rate.
Between 2 and 5 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Blue-winged Minla sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Yes
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Blue-winged Minla sightings, Guiyang has the highest daily chance: about 50%. Next come Kunming (China, about 20%) and Chongqing (China, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Blue-winged Minla is recorded against all the birds logged in Guiyang (39 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.
