Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Indochinese Yuhina sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 102 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 73rd most-seen of the 204 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.
January
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Indochinese Yuhina in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in March to December, the lowest months. That is one of Hong Kong's driest months, with about 35 mm of rain against 280 mm in June.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Indochinese Yuhina sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 6
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Indochinese Yuhina sightings, Hong Kong ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Guiyang (China, about 20%) and Chongqing (China, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Indochinese Yuhina is recorded against all the birds logged in Hong Kong (102 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.
