With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Rusty-fronted Barwing sighting in Royal Manas National Park on a given day, based on 109 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 138th 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 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Rusty-fronted Barwing in Royal Manas National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June and December–January, 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 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Rusty-fronted Barwing 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 2 parks where we can rate Rusty-fronted Barwing sightings, Royal Manas National Park has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Namdapha National Park (India, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Rusty-fronted Barwing is recorded against all the birds logged in Royal Manas National Park (109 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.
