Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-vented Warbler sighting in Manas National Park on a given day, based on 60 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 230th 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.
November to February
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-vented Warbler 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 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Yellow-vented 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.
3rd of 4
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Yellow-vented Warbler sightings, Manas National Park ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Royal Manas National Park (Bhutan, about 30%) and Namdapha National Park (India, about 10%).
Same genus: Phylloscopus

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow-vented Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Manas National Park (60 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.
