The Barbary Partridge is a robust game bird native to North Africa and parts of southern Europe. It is recognizable by its bold head pattern and reddish legs.
Where to spot
Native to North Africa (Morocco to Egypt), Canary Islands, Madeira, and Sardinia. Inhabits rocky hillsides, scrubland, and open woodlands.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, distinctive 'chup-chup-chup' or clucking call, often given from a prominent perch. Look for coveys foraging on the ground or running swiftly through sparse vegetation.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, but particularly vocal and observable during the cooler periods of early morning and late afternoon.
