Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Brown-throated Treecreeper sighting in Royal Manas National Park on a given day, based on 39 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 238th most-seen of the 388 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Brown-throated Treecreeper in Royal Manas National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June–July, October and December–April, the lowest months. August and September have too few records to rate.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Brown-throated Treecreeper sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Brown-throated Treecreeper sightings, Royal Manas National Park ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Langtang National Park (Nepal, under 5%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Brown-throated Treecreeper is recorded against all the birds logged in Royal Manas National Park (39 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.
