The Baikal bush warbler (Locustella davidi), also known as Baikal grasshopper-warbler or David's bush warbler, is a migratory species of Old World warbler in the family Locustellidae. It breeds from the southern part of the Russian Far East (including the Lake Baikal region) to northeast China (southern Heilongjiang south to southern Hebei) and North Korea. It winters from southern China south to northern Thailand.
Its breeding habitat is taiga forests, especially in clearings or at streams. P.D. Round & V. Loskot, A reappraisal of the taxonomy of the Spotted Bush-Warbler Bradypterus thoracicus in Forktail 10 (1995): 159-172 Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Baikal Bush-Warbler sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 39 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 197th most-seen of the 204 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 Baikal Bush-Warbler in Hong Kong on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Baikal Bush-Warbler sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Baikal Bush-Warbler sightings, Hong Kong ranks 4th at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Dhaka (Bangladesh, under 5%), Beijing (China, under 5%) and Bangkok (Thailand, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Baikal Bush-Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Hong Kong (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.
