With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Red-tailed Minla sighting in Guiyang on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 72nd most-seen of the 79 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
November
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Red-tailed Minla in Guiyang on a given day, against under 5% in April–September and December–January, the lowest months. 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 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Red-tailed Minla sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Guiyang, in our data
Guiyang is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Red-tailed Minla sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red-tailed Minla is recorded against all the birds logged in Guiyang (5 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.
