With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Great Swift sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 26 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 362nd most-seen of the 1125 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March, June–October and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Great Swift in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in January–February, April–May and November, the lowest months.
Yes
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Great Swift sightings, Hong Kong has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Tuen Mun (China, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Great Swift is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (26 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.
