With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hodgson's Redstart sighting in Kathmandu on a given day, based on 512 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 65th most-seen of the 312 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
November to February
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Hodgson's Redstart in Kathmandu on a given day, against under 5% in April to October, the lowest months. Those are among Kathmandu's driest months, with about 10 mm of rain a month against 280 mm in July.
Between 3 and 6 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Hodgson's Redstart sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Hodgson's Redstart sightings, Kathmandu has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Chengdu (China, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hodgson's Redstart is recorded against all the birds logged in Kathmandu (512 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.
