When is the best time to see a Snowy-browed Flycatcher in Kathmandu?

Any time of year

In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Snowy-browed Flycatcher in Kathmandu on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.

What time of day is best to see a Snowy-browed Flycatcher?

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Snowy-browed Flycatcher sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.

Is Kathmandu the best place to see a Snowy-browed Flycatcher?

Where does the Snowy-browed Flycatcher sighting chance come from?

GBIF citizen-science records

It is estimated from how often the Snowy-browed Flycatcher is recorded against all the birds logged in Kathmandu (18 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.
