Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pygmy Blue-Flycatcher sighting in Royal Manas National Park on a given day, based on 42 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 211th most-seen of the 388 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pygmy Blue-Flycatcher in Royal Manas National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January–February, April–July and October–November, the lowest months. Those are among Royal Manas National Park's driest months, with about 65 mm of rain a month 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 Pygmy Blue-Flycatcher sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 6
Of the 6 parks where we can rate Pygmy Blue-Flycatcher sightings, Royal Manas National Park ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Namdapha National Park (India, about 20%) and Kinabalu Park (Malaysia, about 10%).
Same genus: Ficedula
The closest relatives of the Pygmy Blue-Flycatcher that you can see in Royal Manas National Park (genus Ficedula, Ficedula Flycatchers) are Little Pied Flycatcher (about 10%) and Taiga Flycatcher (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pygmy Blue-Flycatcher is recorded against all the birds logged in Royal Manas National Park (42 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.
