With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Red-tailed Minla sighting in Royal Manas National Park on a given day, based on 144 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 115th most-seen of the 388 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January and November
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Red-tailed Minla in Royal Manas National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February and May–June, the lowest months. Those are among Royal Manas National Park's driest months, with about 20 mm of rain a month against 930 mm in July. August and September have too few records to rate.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Red-tailed Minla sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Red-tailed Minla sightings, Royal Manas National Park has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Namdapha National Park (India, about 10%) and Manas National Park (India, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red-tailed Minla is recorded against all the birds logged in Royal Manas National Park (144 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.
