Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Grey Bushchat sighting in Jammu on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 83rd most-seen of the 94 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.
October
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Grey Bushchat in Jammu on a given day, against under 5% in August–September and November–May, the lowest months. That is one of Jammu's driest months, with about 15 mm of rain against 250 mm in July. June and July have too few records to rate.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Grey Bushchat sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
6th of 8
Of the 8 cities where we can rate Grey Bushchat sightings, Jammu ranks 6th at under 5%. The best odds are in Dehradun (India, about 10%), Hanoi (Vietnam, about 10%) and Islamabad (Pakistan, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Grey Bushchat is recorded against all the birds logged in Jammu (7 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.
