With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Paintbrush Swift sighting in Kanha National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 81st most-seen of the 106 insects 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.
October
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Paintbrush Swift in Kanha National Park on a given day, against under 5% in November to August, the lowest months. That is one of Kanha National Park's driest months, with about 50 mm of rain against 430 mm in July.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Paintbrush Swift sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Kanha National Park, in our data
Kanha National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Paintbrush Swift sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Paintbrush Swift is recorded against all the insects logged in Kanha National Park (5 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.
