With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Black-faced Warbler sighting in Langtang National Park on a given day, based on 34 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 105th most-seen of the 225 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March and July
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Black-faced Warbler in Langtang National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January, May, September and November, the lowest months. Those are among Langtang National Park's wettest months, with about 220 mm of rain a month against 10 mm in November.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Black-faced Warbler sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Black-faced Warbler sightings, Langtang National Park ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Royal Manas National Park (Bhutan, about 10%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black-faced Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Langtang National Park (34 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.
