Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Red-throated Sunbird sighting in Khao Sok National Park on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 183rd most-seen of the 213 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.

In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Red-throated Sunbird in Khao Sok National Park on a given day, against under 5% in July–August and October–May, the lowest months. That is one of Khao Sok National Park's wettest months, with about 280 mm of rain against 35 mm in February.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Red-throated Sunbird sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
5th of 8

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red-throated Sunbird is recorded against all the birds logged in Khao Sok National Park (10 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.
