Before you go

What are the chances of seeing a Rosy Pipit in Islamabad?

Rare

Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Rosy Pipit sighting in Islamabad on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 110th most-seen of the 123 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.

When is the best time to see a Rosy Pipit in Islamabad?

Any time of year

In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Rosy Pipit in Islamabad on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.

What time of day is best to see a Rosy Pipit?

Between noon and 3 pm

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Rosy Pipit sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

Is Islamabad the best place to see a Rosy Pipit?

7th of 10

Of the 10 cities where we can rate Rosy Pipit sightings, Islamabad ranks 7th at under 5%. The best odds are in Kathmandu (Nepal, about 10%), Jammu (India, under 5%) and Kunming (China, under 5%).

Where does the Rosy Pipit sighting chance come from?

GBIF citizen-science records

It is estimated from how often the Rosy Pipit is recorded against all the birds logged in Islamabad (8 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.
