Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Nepal Fulvetta sighting in Kathmandu on a given day, based on 31 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 216th most-seen of the 312 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Nepal Fulvetta in Kathmandu on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Nepal Fulvetta sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Kathmandu, in our data
Kathmandu is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Nepal Fulvetta sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Nepal Fulvetta is recorded against all the birds logged in Kathmandu (31 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.
