With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hodgson's Redstart sighting in Royal Manas National Park on a given day, based on 78 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 171st most-seen of the 388 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
November
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Hodgson's Redstart in Royal Manas National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February and April–July, the lowest months. That is one of Royal Manas National Park's driest months, with about 15 mm of rain against 930 mm in July. August and September have too few records to rate.
Between 3 and 6 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Hodgson's Redstart sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Hodgson's Redstart sightings, Royal Manas National Park has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Namdapha National Park (India, under 5%) and Manas National Park (India, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hodgson's Redstart is recorded against all the birds logged in Royal Manas National Park (78 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.
