Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report a Nepal Fulvetta sighting in Namdapha National Park on a given day, based on 501 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 26th most-seen of the 298 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and November–March
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Nepal Fulvetta in Namdapha National Park on a given day, against about 20% in October, the lowest month. Those are among Namdapha National Park's driest months, with about 110 mm of rain a month against 660 mm in July. June to September have too few records to rate.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Nepal Fulvetta sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Nepal Fulvetta sightings, Namdapha National Park has the highest daily chance: about 40%. Next come Royal Manas National Park (Bhutan, about 30%) and Chitwan National Park (Nepal, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Nepal Fulvetta is recorded against all the birds logged in Namdapha National Park (501 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.
