Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Black-throated Babbler sighting in Khao Luang National Park on a given day, based on 24 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 160th most-seen of the 215 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.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Black-throated 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.
2nd of 5
Of the 5 parks where we can rate Black-throated Babbler sightings, Khao Luang National Park ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Taman Negara National Park (Malaysia, about 20%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black-throated Babbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Khao Luang 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.
