Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Hodgson's Redstart sighting in Manas National Park on a given day, based on 38 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 247th most-seen of the 377 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hodgson's Redstart in Manas National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February to December, the lowest months. That is one of Manas National Park's driest months, with about 15 mm of rain against 1070 mm in June.
Between 3 and 6 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Hodgson's Redstart sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 4
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Hodgson's Redstart sightings, Manas National Park ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Royal Manas National Park (Bhutan, about 10%) and Namdapha National Park (India, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hodgson's Redstart is recorded against all the birds logged in Manas National Park (38 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.
