Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report a Tylas Vanga sighting in Mantadia National Park on a given day, based on 209 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 23rd 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 and September
In those months about 70% of wildlife watchers report a Tylas Vanga in Mantadia National Park on a given day, against about 20% in June, the lowest month. Those are among Mantadia National Park's driest months, with about 70 mm of rain a month against 340 mm in January. January to April have too few records to rate.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Tylas 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.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Tylas Vanga sightings, Mantadia National Park ranks 2nd at about 40%. The best odds are in Ranomafana National Park (Madagascar, about 60%).
Same family: Vangidae
The closest relatives of the Tylas 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 Nuthatch-Vanga (about 40%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Tylas Vanga is recorded against all the birds logged in Mantadia National Park (209 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.
