Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Black-chinned Yuhina sighting in Royal Manas National Park on a given day, based on 297 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 37th most-seen of the 388 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March–April, July and December
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Black-chinned Yuhina in Royal Manas National Park on a given day, against about 10% in February, the lowest month. August and September have too few records to rate.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Black-chinned Yuhina sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Black-chinned Yuhina sightings, Royal Manas National Park has the highest daily chance: about 30%. Next come Namdapha National Park (India, about 20%) and Jim Corbett National Park (India, about 10%).
Same genus: Yuhina
The closest relatives of the Black-chinned Yuhina that you can see in Royal Manas National Park (genus Yuhina, Typical Yuhinas) are Whiskered Yuhina (about 20%) and White-naped Yuhina (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black-chinned Yuhina is recorded against all the birds logged in Royal Manas National Park (297 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.
