Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Slaty-backed Flycatcher sighting in Kathmandu on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 290th 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 Slaty-backed Flycatcher in Kathmandu on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Slaty-backed Flycatcher sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Slaty-backed Flycatcher sightings, Kathmandu ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Chengdu (China, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Slaty-backed Flycatcher is recorded against all the birds logged in Kathmandu (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.
