It is the 145th most-seen of the 298 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Grey-hooded Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Namdapha National Park (80 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.
