Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Brown-rumped Minivet sighting in Khao Sok National Park on a given day, based on 27 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 145th most-seen of the 213 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.
December and January

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Brown-rumped Minivet is recorded against all the birds logged in Khao Sok National Park (27 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.
