Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Black-headed Shrike-Babbler sighting in Namdapha National Park on a given day, based on 20 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 227th most-seen of the 298 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Black-headed Shrike-Babbler in Namdapha National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March–May and October–January, the lowest months. That is one of Namdapha National Park's driest months, with about 100 mm of rain 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-headed Shrike-Babbler sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Namdapha National Park, in our data
Namdapha National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Black-headed Shrike-Babbler sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black-headed Shrike-Babbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Namdapha National Park (20 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.
