Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Spot-breasted Scimitar Babbler sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 844 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 77th most-seen of the 266 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.
April
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Spot-breasted Scimitar Babbler in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in May to March, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Spot-breasted Scimitar Babbler sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Spot-breasted Scimitar Babbler sightings, Taipei has the highest daily chance: under 5%. Next come Taichung (Taiwan, under 5%) and Kaohsiung (Taiwan, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Spot-breasted Scimitar Babbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Taipei (844 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.
