Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a White-tailed Robin sighting in Kaziranga National Park on a given day, based on 25 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 240th most-seen of the 323 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.
February
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a White-tailed Robin in Kaziranga National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March–May and August–January, the lowest months. That is one of Kaziranga National Park's driest months, with about 45 mm of rain against 520 mm in June. June and July have too few records to rate.
Between 3 and 6 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most White-tailed Robin sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
7th of 9
Of the 9 parks where we can rate White-tailed Robin sightings, Kaziranga National Park ranks 7th at under 5%. The best odds are in Cuc Phuong National Park (Vietnam, about 20%), Taroko National Park (Taiwan, about 20%) and Doi Inthanon National Park (Thailand, about 10%).
Same family: Muscicapidae
The closest relatives of the White-tailed Robin that you can see in Kaziranga National Park (family Muscicapidae, Old World Flycatchers, Robins, and Chats) are Siberian Stonechat (about 50%), Oriental Magpie-Robin (about 40%) and Taiga Flycatcher (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-tailed Robin is recorded against all the birds logged in Kaziranga National Park (25 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.
