Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report a Nuthatch-Vanga sighting in Mantadia National Park on a given day, based on 217 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 22nd most-seen of the 98 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 80%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May
In that month about 70% of wildlife watchers report a Nuthatch-Vanga in Mantadia National Park on a given day, against about 20% in June, the lowest month. That is one of Mantadia National Park's driest months, with about 80 mm of rain against 340 mm in January. January to April have too few records to rate.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Nuthatch-Vanga sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Nuthatch-Vanga sightings, Mantadia National Park has the highest daily chance: about 40%. Next come Ranomafana National Park (Madagascar, under 5%).
Same family: Vangidae
The closest relatives of the Nuthatch-Vanga that you can see in Mantadia National Park (family Vangidae, Vangas, Helmetshrikes, and Allies) are Red-tailed Vanga (about 50%), Common Newtonia (about 50%) and Tylas Vanga (about 40%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Nuthatch-Vanga is recorded against all the birds logged in Mantadia National Park (217 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.
