With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Black-faced Warbler sighting in Royal Manas National Park on a given day, based on 136 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 135th most-seen of the 388 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
November
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Black-faced Warbler in Royal Manas National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January, June and October, the lowest months. That is one of Royal Manas National Park's driest months, with about 15 mm of rain against 930 mm in July. August and September have too few records to rate.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Black-faced Warbler sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black-faced Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Royal Manas National Park (136 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.
