Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Red-tailed Minla sighting in Manas National Park on a given day, based on 58 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 223rd 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
November to February
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Red-tailed Minla in Manas National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March to October, the lowest months. Those are among Manas National Park's driest months, with about 20 mm of rain a month against 1070 mm in June.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Red-tailed Minla sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Red-tailed Minla 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, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red-tailed Minla is recorded against all the birds logged in Manas National Park (58 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.
