Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Brown-rumped Minivet sighting in Hangzhou on a given day, based on 347 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 39th most-seen of the 219 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April–June and September
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Brown-rumped Minivet in Hangzhou on a given day, against under 5% in October to March, the lowest months.
Between 2 and 5 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Brown-rumped Minivet 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 10 cities where we can rate Brown-rumped Minivet sightings, Hangzhou has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Hefei (China, about 10%) and Nanjing (China, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Brown-rumped Minivet is recorded against all the birds logged in Hangzhou (347 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.
