Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Tristram's Bunting sighting in Seoul on a given day, based on 118 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 121st most-seen of the 231 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.
October
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Tristram's Bunting in Seoul on a given day, against under 5% in November to September, the lowest months. That is one of Seoul's driest months, with about 55 mm of rain against 360 mm in July.
12th of 14

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Tristram's Bunting is recorded against all the birds logged in Seoul (118 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.
