Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Hill Blue Flycatcher sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 151st 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.
February
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hill Blue Flycatcher in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in March to January, the lowest months. That is one of Hong Kong's driest months, with about 30 mm of rain against 280 mm in June.
Between 3 and 6 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Hill Blue Flycatcher 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 Hill Blue Flycatcher sightings, Hong Kong ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Kunming (China, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hill Blue Flycatcher is recorded against all the birds logged in Hong Kong (19 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.
