Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a West Himalayan Bush-Warbler sighting in Kolkata on a given day, based on 85 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 156th most-seen of the 247 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, and over a week to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a West Himalayan Bush-Warbler in Kolkata on a given day, against under 5% in February to December, the lowest months. That is one of Kolkata's driest months, with about 15 mm of rain against 330 mm in July.
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, Kolkata ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Tamluk (India, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the West Himalayan Bush-Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Kolkata (85 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.
