Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Rock Bush Quail sighting in Ranthambore National Park on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 226th most-seen of the 251 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Rock Bush Quail in Ranthambore National Park on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Only Ranthambore National Park, in our data
Ranthambore National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Rock Bush Quail sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Rock Bush Quail is recorded against all the birds logged in Ranthambore National Park (11 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.
