Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Gold-naped Finch sighting in Royal Manas National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 349th most-seen of the 388 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, and over a week to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Gold-naped Finch in Royal Manas National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June–July and October–April, the lowest months. August and September have too few records to rate.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Gold-naped Finch sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Royal Manas National Park, in our data
Royal Manas National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Gold-naped Finch sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Gold-naped Finch is recorded against all the birds logged in Royal Manas National Park (7 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.
