Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Chinese Francolin sighting in Doi Inthanon National Park on a given day, based on 24 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 284th most-seen of the 367 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.

3rd of 3

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Chinese Francolin is recorded against all the birds logged in Doi Inthanon National Park (24 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
