Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report an Anderson's Bulbul sighting in Xi'an on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 29th most-seen of the 49 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.
July
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report an Anderson's Bulbul in Xi'an on a given day, against about 10% in March, June and September, the lowest months. That is one of Xi'an's wettest months, with about 120 mm of rain against 5 mm in December. February and August have too few records to rate.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Anderson's Bulbul sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Anderson's Bulbul sightings, Xi'an ranks 3rd at about 20%. The best odds are in Kunming (China, about 90%) and Guiyang (China, about 90%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Anderson's Bulbul is recorded against all the birds logged in Xi'an (13 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.
