Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Cinereous Bulbul sighting in Singapore on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 295th most-seen of the 298 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Cinereous Bulbul in Singapore on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Cinereous Bulbul 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 Singapore, in our data
Singapore is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Cinereous Bulbul sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Pycnonotidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cinereous Bulbul is recorded against all the birds logged in Singapore (6 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.
