Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a West Himalayan Bush-Warbler sighting in Kathmandu on a given day, based on 10 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 West Himalayan Bush-Warbler in Kathmandu on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most West Himalayan Bush-Warbler sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 4 cities where we can rate West Himalayan Bush-Warbler sightings, Kathmandu ranks 4th at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Tamluk (India, under 5%), Kolkata (India, under 5%) and Dehradun (India, under 5%).
Same order: Passeriformes
The closest relatives of the West Himalayan Bush-Warbler that you can see in Kathmandu (order Passeriformes, Perching Birds) are House Crow (about 90%), Oriental Magpie-Robin (about 80%) and Barn Swallow (about 70%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the West Himalayan Bush-Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Kathmandu (10 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.
