Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Eyebrowed Wren-Babbler sighting in Royal Manas National Park on a given day, based on 31 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 253rd 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.
December
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Eyebrowed Wren-Babbler in Royal Manas National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January–July and October–November, the lowest months. That is one of Royal Manas National Park's driest months, with about 10 mm of rain against 930 mm in July. August and September have too few records to rate.
Between 1 and 4 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Eyebrowed Wren-Babbler sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
4th of 4

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eyebrowed Wren-Babbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Royal Manas National Park (31 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.
