Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Grey-hooded Warbler sighting in Royal Manas National Park on a given day, based on 408 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 31st most-seen of the 388 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Grey-hooded Warbler in Royal Manas National Park on a given day, against about 10% in January and February, the lowest months. That is one of Royal Manas National Park's driest months, with about 130 mm of rain against 930 mm in July. August and September have too few records to rate.
Between 2 and 5 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Grey-hooded Warbler 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 5
Of the 5 parks where we can rate Grey-hooded Warbler sightings, Royal Manas National Park ranks 2nd at about 30%. The best odds are in Langtang National Park (Nepal, about 40%).
Same genus: Phylloscopus
The closest relatives of the Grey-hooded Warbler that you can see in Royal Manas National Park (genus Phylloscopus, Leaf Warblers) are Yellow-vented Warbler (about 30%), Yellow-browed Warbler (about 10%) and Blyth's Leaf-Warbler (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Grey-hooded Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Royal Manas National Park (408 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.
