Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Green-backed Tailorbird sighting in Manila on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 180th most-seen of the 191 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 Green-backed Tailorbird in Manila on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Green-backed Tailorbird 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 Manila, in our data
Manila is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Green-backed Tailorbird sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Green-backed Tailorbird is recorded against all the birds logged in Manila (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.
