Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Javan Cuckoo-shrike sighting in Savar on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 61st most-seen of the 99 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January and September
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Javan Cuckoo-shrike in Savar on a given day, against about 10% in March, June–August and December, the lowest months. October has too few records to rate.
Between 2 and 5 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Javan Cuckoo-shrike sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Yes
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Javan Cuckoo-shrike sightings, Savar has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Guwahati (India, about 10%) and Kathmandu (Nepal, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Javan Cuckoo-shrike is recorded against all the birds logged in Savar (18 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.
