Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Chinese Blue Flycatcher sighting in Khao Yai National Park on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 247th most-seen of the 278 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Chinese Blue Flycatcher in Khao Yai National Park on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
6th of 6

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Chinese Blue Flycatcher is recorded against all the birds logged in Khao Yai National Park (15 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.
