The green-crowned warbler (Phylloscopus burkii) is a species of leaf warbler (family Phylloscopidae). It was formerly included in the "Old World warbler" assemblage. It is found in the Indian subcontinent, ranging across Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, and Pakistan. A single sighting was recorded from Sigiriya, Sri Lanka in 1993. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
The green-crowned warbler was previously placed in the genus Seicercus. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2018 found that neither Phylloscopus nor Seicercus were monophyletic. In the subsequent reorganization the two genera were merged into Phylloscopus which has priority under the rules of the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature. Wikipedia →

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Golden-spectacled Warbler sighting in Langtang National Park on a given day, based on 21 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 127th most-seen of the 225 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Golden-spectacled Warbler in Langtang National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June, August–September and November–April, the lowest months. That is one of Langtang National Park's wettest months, with about 390 mm of rain against 10 mm in November.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Golden-spectacled Warbler sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Golden-spectacled Warbler sightings, Langtang National Park has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Royal Manas National Park (Bhutan, under 5%) and Bandhavgarh National Park (India, under 5%).
Same genus: Seicercus
The closest relatives of the Golden-spectacled Warbler that you can see in Langtang National Park (genus Seicercus) are Whistler's Warbler (about 20%) and Chestnut-crowned Warbler (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Golden-spectacled Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Langtang National Park (21 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.
