Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Black-chinned Yuhina sighting in Namdapha National Park on a given day, based on 256 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 63rd most-seen of the 298 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January–February and April
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Black-chinned Yuhina in Namdapha National Park on a given day, against about 10% in March and November–December, the lowest months. Those are among Namdapha National Park's driest months, with about 140 mm of rain a month against 660 mm in July. June to September have too few records to rate.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Black-chinned Yuhina sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 3
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Black-chinned Yuhina sightings, Namdapha National Park ranks 2nd at about 20%. The best odds are in Royal Manas National Park (Bhutan, about 30%).
Same genus: Yuhina
The closest relatives of the Black-chinned Yuhina that you can see in Namdapha National Park (genus Yuhina, Typical Yuhinas) are Whiskered Yuhina (about 20%) and White-naped Yuhina (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black-chinned Yuhina is recorded against all the birds logged in Namdapha National Park (256 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.
