Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Nuthatch-Vanga sighting in Ranomafana National Park on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 91st most-seen of the 102 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, and over a week to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
December
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Nuthatch-Vanga in Ranomafana National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February–May and July–November, the lowest months. January and June 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 Nuthatch-Vanga 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 2
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Nuthatch-Vanga sightings, Ranomafana National Park ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Mantadia National Park (Madagascar, about 40%).
Same family: Vangidae
The closest relatives of the Nuthatch-Vanga that you can see in Ranomafana National Park (family Vangidae, Vangas, Helmetshrikes, and Allies) are Tylas Vanga (about 60%), Red-tailed Vanga (about 60%) and Common Newtonia (about 60%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Nuthatch-Vanga is recorded against all the birds logged in Ranomafana National Park (19 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.
