Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Band-bellied Crake sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 127 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 139th most-seen of the 204 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, and over a week to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Band-bellied Crake in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in November to September, the lowest months. That is one of Hong Kong's driest months, with about 50 mm of rain against 280 mm in June.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Band-bellied Crake sightings, Hong Kong ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Qingdao (China, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Band-bellied Crake is recorded against all the birds logged in Hong Kong (127 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.
