Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Tristram's Bunting sighting in Nanjing on a given day, based on 26 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 97th most-seen of the 162 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October to December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Tristram's Bunting in Nanjing on a given day, against under 5% in January to September, the lowest months. Those are among Nanjing's driest months, with about 50 mm of rain a month against 240 mm in July.
7th of 14

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Tristram's Bunting is recorded against all the birds logged in Nanjing (26 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.
