Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Rufous-faced Warbler sighting in Shanghai on a given day, based on 48 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 102nd most-seen of the 202 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.
March
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Rufous-faced Warbler in Shanghai on a given day, against under 5% in April to February, the lowest months.
Between 3 and 6 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Rufous-faced Warbler sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
11th of 12
Of the 12 cities where we can rate Rufous-faced Warbler sightings, Shanghai ranks 11th at under 5%. The best odds are in Guiyang (China, about 70%), Chongqing (China, about 30%) and Hefei (China, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Rufous-faced Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Shanghai (48 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.
