Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Blue-winged Laughingthrush sighting in Namdapha National Park on a given day, based on 27 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 220th 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Blue-winged Laughingthrush in Namdapha National Park on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season. June to September have too few records to rate.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Blue-winged Laughingthrush is recorded against all the birds logged in Namdapha National Park (27 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.
