Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Spot-winged Grosbeak sighting in Royal Manas National Park on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 287th most-seen of the 388 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, and over a week to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
November
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Spot-winged Grosbeak in Royal Manas National Park on a given day, against under 5% in October and December–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 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Spot-winged Grosbeak sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Spot-winged Grosbeak sightings, Royal Manas National Park ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Langtang National Park (Nepal, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Spot-winged Grosbeak is recorded against all the birds logged in Royal Manas National Park (16 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.
