Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Nepal Fulvetta sighting in Royal Manas National Park on a given day, based on 284 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 43rd most-seen of the 388 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Nepal Fulvetta in Royal Manas National Park on a given day, against about 10% in February, the lowest month. 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 Nepal Fulvetta sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 4
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Nepal Fulvetta sightings, Royal Manas National Park ranks 2nd at about 30%. The best odds are in Namdapha National Park (India, about 40%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Nepal Fulvetta is recorded against all the birds logged in Royal Manas National Park (284 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.
