With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Grey-hooded Warbler sighting in Jammu on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 50th most-seen of the 94 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January, March and October–November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Grey-hooded Warbler in Jammu on a given day, against under 5% in February, April–May, August–September and December, the lowest months. Those are among Jammu's driest months, with about 35 mm of rain a month against 250 mm in July. June and July have too few records to rate.
Between 2 and 5 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Grey-hooded Warbler sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
4th of 6
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Grey-hooded Warbler sightings, Jammu ranks 4th at about 10%. The best odds are in Dehradun (India, about 20%), Kathmandu (Nepal, about 20%) and Islamabad (Pakistan, about 10%).
Same genus: Phylloscopus
The closest relatives of the Grey-hooded Warbler that you can see in Jammu (genus Phylloscopus, Leaf Warblers) are Hume's Warbler (about 20%) and Common Chiffchaff (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Grey-hooded Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Jammu (14 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.
