Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Stripe-sided Rhabdornis sighting in Manila on a given day, based on 78 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 104th most-seen of the 191 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Stripe-sided Rhabdornis in Manila on a given day, against under 5% in July to May, the lowest months.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Stripe-sided Rhabdornis sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 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 Stripe-sided Rhabdornis sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Sturnidae
The closest relatives of the Stripe-sided Rhabdornis that you can see in Manila (family Sturnidae, Starlings) are Crested Myna (about 30%) and Asian Glossy Starling (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Stripe-sided Rhabdornis is recorded against all the birds logged in Manila (78 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.
