Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Hoary-throated Barwing sighting in Royal Manas National Park on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 322nd 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.
March
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hoary-throated Barwing in Royal Manas National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April–July and October–February, the lowest months. That is one of Royal Manas National Park's driest months, with about 120 mm of rain against 930 mm in July. August and September have too few records to rate.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Hoary-throated Barwing sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Hoary-throated Barwing sightings, Royal Manas National Park ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Langtang National Park (Nepal, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hoary-throated Barwing is recorded against all the birds logged in Royal Manas National Park (10 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.
