Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Short-billed Minivet sighting in Langtang National Park on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 145th most-seen of the 225 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Short-billed Minivet in Langtang National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April, June–October and December–February, the lowest months. That is one of Langtang National Park's driest months, with about 55 mm of rain against 390 mm in July.
Between 2 and 5 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Short-billed Minivet sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
3rd of 6
Of the 6 parks where we can rate Short-billed Minivet sightings, Langtang National Park ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Doi Inthanon National Park (Thailand, about 20%) and Royal Manas National Park (Bhutan, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Short-billed Minivet is recorded against all the birds logged in Langtang National Park (16 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.
