Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Burmese Shrike sighting in Hanoi on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 89th most-seen of the 97 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Burmese Shrike in Hanoi on a given day, against under 5% in May–July and September–March, the lowest months. Those are among Hanoi's wettest months, with about 200 mm of rain a month against 20 mm in February.
Between 1 and 4 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Burmese Shrike sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
2nd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Burmese Shrike sightings, Hanoi ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam, about 10%).
Same genus: Lanius
The closest relatives of the Burmese Shrike that you can see in Hanoi (genus Lanius, Typical Shrikes) are Long-tailed Shrike (about 20%) and Brown Shrike (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Burmese Shrike is recorded against all the birds logged in Hanoi (9 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.
