Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Chestnut-crowned Laughingthrush sighting in Royal Manas National Park on a given day, based on 37 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 219th 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.
April and May
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Chestnut-crowned Laughingthrush in Royal Manas National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June–July and October–March, the lowest months. August and September have too few records to rate.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Chestnut-crowned Laughingthrush sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
2nd of 3
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Chestnut-crowned Laughingthrush sightings, Royal Manas National Park ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Langtang National Park (Nepal, about 40%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Chestnut-crowned Laughingthrush is recorded against all the birds logged in Royal Manas National Park (37 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.
