Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Lineated Barbet sighting in Sundarbans National Park on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 143rd most-seen of the 177 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Lineated Barbet in Sundarbans National Park on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season. May and June have too few records to rate.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Lineated Barbet sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
15th of 16
Of the 16 parks where we can rate Lineated Barbet sightings, Sundarbans National Park ranks 15th at under 5%. The best odds are in Kaziranga National Park (India, about 50%), Manas National Park (India, about 40%) and Bali Barat National Park (Indonesia, about 40%). All parks ranked.
Same genus: Psilopogon
The closest relatives of the Lineated Barbet that you can see in Sundarbans National Park (genus Psilopogon, Typical Asian Barbets) are Blue-throated Barbet (about 10%) and Coppersmith Barbet (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Lineated Barbet is recorded against all the birds logged in Sundarbans National Park (14 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.
