Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Hodgson's Redstart sighting in Namdapha National Park on a given day, based on 48 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 176th most-seen of the 298 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hodgson's Redstart in Namdapha National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April–May, October and December–February, the lowest months. Those are among Namdapha National Park's driest months, with about 75 mm of rain a month against 660 mm in July. June to September have too few records to rate.
Between 3 and 6 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Hodgson's Redstart 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 4
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Hodgson's Redstart sightings, Namdapha National Park ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Royal Manas National Park (Bhutan, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hodgson's Redstart is recorded against all the birds logged in Namdapha National Park (48 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.
